Beginning last year, China Horse Club’s (CHC)
two year olds, represented by Goldrush, Bondi,
Copper Town and Quip, made their racing debuts
across three different countries. Now, these horses have
embarked on their racing careers as three year olds, with
Audible, Justify and Quip successfully gaining points for
the Kentucky Derby.
Compared to Justify, whose superior speed has seen his
meteoric rise to stardom, and Audible, who is undefeated
in two graded stakes, Quip’s racing career has been more
subdued. However, all three are derby-winning horses,
with Quip having conquered the G2 Tampa Bay Derby and
earning 50 qualifying points toward the Kentucky Derby.
With odds at 19-1, Quip was not a favourite to win the
Tampa Bay Derby. Breaking from the outermost post
to second place, just a half-length behind front-runner
and favourite World of Trouble, Quip kept a steady pace
while applying pressure to the early leader. At the top of 带来惊喜的“聆听”，“妙语”的晋级之路相对“低调”了很多，
the stretch, he began moving and edged clear to win by a
length.
Jockey Florent Geroux said of the winner: “I’ve always
known he had talent. It seemed like he handled the track
very well. Both horses (Quip and World of Trouble) were
doing great, and I’m glad to know Quip was best today.”
Subsequently, Quip headed to Oaklawn Park for a start
in the G1 Arkansas Derby where he earned 40 points for
finishing second. Quip, alongside fellow CHC stablemates
Audible and Justify, currently take up three of the top 10
spots on the Kentucky Derby leaderboard.
早 在去年开始，当时两岁的C H C杰士马主俱乐部 赛 驹 们开始 逐
渐迎来爆发，以“大浪淘金”、“邦代”、“库伯镇”以及“妙语”
为 代 表 的 赛 马 在世 界 各 地 的 新 秀 赛 中崭露 头 角；如 今 这 批 赛
驹也已进 入 三岁的黄金 年龄，尤其 在美国 赛 场，C H C的三匹赛
驹“聆听”、“正义”、“妙语”都成功在肯塔基德比出赛马排行
榜上名列前十。
相 对于“正 义”如 超 新星 般 的崛 起 速 度，以 及不 断在 级 别 赛上
不过 三匹晋级赛马都有一个共同点，那就是各收获了至少一
个德比的头 衔，而“ 妙 语”所 收获的 就 是 坦帕 湾德比 。这 场 德
比 虽 然 只 是 一场二 级赛，但 却 能 获 得 5 0 个肯 塔 基 德比的 晋 级
积分。
在这场比赛中，“妙语”并不是最大的热门，而他出发的闸位也
并 不占优，因此占 据 先机 就极 为重要。从一出发，“妙 语”就排
在第二的位置，仅次于排在第一位的夺冠热门“烦恼世界”；占
据着有利位置的他并未急于超越，而是跟跑在头名身边保持着
压力，等待着最后的超越时机；进入最后直道，“妙语”的机会
也 终 于 来 临，他与“烦 恼 世界”的 激 烈 争 持 也引发了现 场 观 众
的阵阵欢呼，凭借优秀的冲刺能力，“妙语”逐渐拉开了距离，
最终以一个马身的优势拿到冠军。
负责策骑“妙语”的法国骑师郑朗升在接受采访时说：“我一直
都知道他有天赋，他对场地适应得非常出色。两匹马（“妙语”
与“烦恼世界”，“妙 语”曾在此前比 赛中败于“烦恼世界”）都
非常优秀，很高兴他能够成功。”
尔后，“妙 语”再次在美国大 芝 加 哥地 区的奥 克 朗 公 园 赛 马场
亮相G1阿肯色德比，在这场比赛中他同样表现出众收获第二，
再次 赢得 4 0 个积分，也让他与同门师兄弟“聆 听”和“正义”共
同占据肯塔基德比积分榜前10中的三个位置。

A colt that seems to be getting better with
his racing, our ultimate aim will be to look at
securing a G1 victory for this well-bred colt. We
may see that he drops back in distance later in
the season.
作为一匹血统优良的赛马，“妙语”的目标就是能赢得一
场G1一级赛的胜利，这个赛季里他可能会在途程上有所
调整。
