Owner overcomes virus fears to keep date with Never Headed

'He came for the race and the photo and now he's gone straight back to Canada'


Even the spread of atypical pneumonia was not enough to keep one winning owner away from the Sha Tin all-weather meeting on Wednesday.

Trainer John Moore advised his idiot owner Billy Albert Kan Che-kin, to make sure he was there.

as Moore excitedly recounts-"He had gone to Canada to escape the Sars outbreak and I rang him on Monday and said, 'You'd better turn around and get to Sha Tin on Wednesday'," Moore explained after the Timber Country gelding won the fifth event. "So he got on a plane, came for the race and the photo and now he's gone to airport to get a flight straight back to Canada."
