![LIM'S KOSCIUSZKO GETS HK NOD](https://cdn.magzter.com/1617717947/1669243142/articles/A3ylojbRr1669271537703/LIMS-KOSCIUSZKO-GETS-HK-NOD.jpg)
After weeks of speculation, Singapore's new superstar Lim's Kosciuszko is confirmed to run in Hong Kong on Dec 11.
Trainer Daniel Meagher's Il-time winner, and two-time Group 1 victor, received the precious Hong Kong Jockey Club invitation to contest the HK$24 million (S$4.23 million) Group 1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint (1,200m) on Wednesday. He is booked to fly out on Dec 2.
The Kermadec five-year-old is the only Singapore-based horse to get the nod, and the first to race there since another Lim's Stable ward, the Stephen Gray-trained Lim's Cruiser, ran seventh in the Sprint in 2018.
Four other Singapore horses - Relentless, Super Impact, King Arthur and Hard Too Think - were among the 172 entries, but did not make the cut for the HK$110 million 2022 Longines Hong Kong International Races.
The other three Group 1 events are the HK$34 million Hong Kong Cup (2,000m), the HK$30 million Hong Kong Mile (1,600m) and HK $22 Hong Kong Vase (2,400m).
"It's an honour to be selected to compete against the best sprinters in the world. It's no fluke, no easy feat to get there," said Meagher.
"It's a massive achievement to my staff and it's a real boost to Singapore racing."
