OUR STRATEGY IS COMPLEX, WE DO THE WORK FOR YOU
We do not employ a high strike rate bet on faves model. Our engine looks for holes in the market and specifically value runners the market has missed often these are the same horses that green and brown 'lamp'. Occasionally we will bet favourites when the odds are right. The Hong Kng market is very efficient at the top end and you have to know when to bet.
A good night at Happy Valley 24/06/2026
Meowth was a King bet and we secured $3.60, he SP at $2.70. A strong push for Gratifide to improve in the same race and a place play was warranted when he steamed home for 3rd at $28. WE ma nailed the trifesta and first 4 in one! We advised an EW bet on Blossomy which duly slauted in Race 4 at the tasty odds of $18.
Fill up at Sha Tin 24/05/2025
Almighty Lightning strikes for subs. Rated on top we got $16. Fill yer boots! Only two King bets for the day both saluted. We laso had good EW place results with Master Phoenix at $21 and Quick Contribution at $16.
An absolute fill up on Race 3
Our race comment:
"#1 Conrad Patch should go better for a senior jockey. #2 Sight Dreamer has performed on the turf before, looks overs. 1-2-4-12"
A $240 quinella if you don't mind!
We also had wins on Red Hare in Race 11 at $10, Six Pack in Race 9 at $5 and Flying Amani Race 1 at $.25

At hkspeedking, even with all the data at our fingertips, we still work through the form manually and systematically to get a good understanding of each race.
Data, charts and reports can help you form a cohesive picture of the race in your mind.
There's a lot to keep track of, the raceday worksheet (see completed sample below) is designed to help subscribers organise their thoughts and selections for each race in a logical, easy to interpret fashion.
Users are free to use the data as they please, the worksheet is just an option for keeping your analysis focused and summarised on one page. Personally, I find that filling it in the worksheet by hand gets me to investigate the detail in each report.
DOWNLOAD THE USER GUIDE
The worksheet template is optional for users of our race day data reports. It is best suited to HK Bundle users where all reports are included. Some prefer to do their own thing with the data; others need a structure to adhere to when analysing a race. Personally, I prefer to use this form as a way of crystallising my final thoughts. I perform my computer analysis first, database, spreadsheets etc, then I summarise on the raceday worksheet.
Race rankings by Key statistics - rank Heatmaps
Make this a key weapon in your form analysis arsenal.
The race ranking heat map compares over 20 key statistics and assigns each horse a rank.
A great starting point for your race-by-race horse comparison analysis.

Hong Kong racing speed figures and charts
EARLY SPEED
As any experienced punter knows, early speed is critical to determining the outcome of a race. The early speed chart helps you to identify LIKELY early positions in running. Historical pace data is compared against today's field.
The actual early positions during the race are shown below.
INTERPRETING THE EARLY SPEED CHART
The early speed chart is based on a horse’s historical performance through the early sections of the race.
It is a direct comparison between the competing horses expressed as an advantage in lengths.
In the example shown, Speedy Fortune had a 4.7 length advantage over the median early speed for the race.
Speedy Fortune had a 0.5 length advantage over the next quickest early speed horse, Joyful Life. He also had a lower draw and was likely to lead.
Glorious Expert raced against his usual pattern in racing on pace and faded late.
Barriers, jockey and trainer intent, lack of exposed form can all influence early speed projections, but generally it is a good starting point for race mapping.
Trial form can sometimes flag a change in early speed tactics for a horse.
EARLY, MID AND LATE SPEED VERSUS RACE
This stacked chart shows the horses EARLY; MID and LATE speed combined in one bar. Although each section historically is subject to the overall race pace, this chart can be very useful for identifying runners that have been undervalued by the market.
1st - Sky Cap $29 2nd - Bienvue $5.6 3rd - New Power $10
Note: Jumbo Treasure ran 4th as $3.80 fav
SPEED RANKING HEAT MAP
The speed ranking heatmap chart ranks horses in the race by early speed, mid-race speed, late speed and overall speed. The horse with the lowest average rank is listed first.
Identifying horses with the number one rank in any category can be a useful tool for finding value runners.
It can also be useful in highlighting runners that might benefit from a pace or track bias.
1st - Leather Master $9.40 2nd - Mr Aladdin $8.80
A reliable guide to a horse's fitness level and readiness for today's race is its body weight. This is particularly useful in the light of past trends. Which bodyweights align with peak performances?
Does the horse have a narrow range in which it can perform or can it perform across a wide range of body weights. The bodyweight chart can help to remove the guesswork
