Hong Kong Mile 2008

Good Ba Ba won his second Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile as a six year old when winning the race again in 2008.

Good Ba Ba smashed the track record by almost half a second to claim his fifth Group One race win in 12 months and his third at the International Group One level. The winning time of 1:32.71 was a Sha Tin track record.

The Andreas Schutz-trained gelding was ridden for the first time by Christophe Soumillon.

Able One was second by two and a half lengths with Egyptian Ra in third. Armada started favourite but finished sixth and other runners included Natagora and the 2007 Breeders' Cup Mile winner Kip Deville who finished ninth of the 14 runners.
