Our Olympic horses are HKG bound

Nicola Turner, EFA National Office, Wednesday, 30 July 2008

This morning at 8am our three Aus-based Olympic horses flew out of Sydney airport bound for Hong Kong.

 All Luck, Kirby Park Irish Jester and Ringwould Jaguar  are on the plane bound for Hong Kong.  The horses flew out of Mascot at 8am this morning on a Cathay Pacific flight accompanied by Shane Rose, Denis Goulding and Sam Lyle.  The horses are due to land in HGK at 5pm (HKG time).  Megan, Sonja, Wayne Roycroft and the grooms (Michelle Robson, Karen Conk and Natalie Hibbert) are on a flight that departed at 10am this morning, but will arrive in Hong Kong at a similar time to the horses. 

Brett Mace will have arranged for the stables to be ready and waiting for our precious cargo on arrival.
