Veteran racing broadcaster Ma Yan-chi says he has a sixth sense that tells him what horse is going to win a race.
'It might sound mysterious, but I do have gut feelings about certain horses sometimes. I can tell which horse will win for sure before a race begins,' says Ma, 50, who has worked as a racing broadcaster at RTHK for 14 years.
'There were times that my friends kept telling me certain horses were doomed to lose. But I did not believe them and even placed bets on them, and they won.'
Ma's sixth sense is supported by a rich knowledge of horses and nearly 30 years of experience.
He has hung up his binoculars for now, calling his last meeting on June 29, with RTHK deciding not to broadcast race meetings. Ma says he is taking a break before deciding what to do next.
He started as a racing journalist in the 1970s and began his career as a racing broadcaster at RTHK in 1990.
