07 The four-month-long racing series followed the same
08 system of previous years with newly added awards
such as Best Racehorse, Best Jockey and Best Trainer,
30 MAjestic following Yitai Desert Star’s commitment to excellence
each year. Each race was tough, and provided an
on-the-edge experience for on-course racing fans as
well as horse enthusiasts watching the live coverage in
China and abroad. What kept everyone in suspense
was the fight for Best Jockey.

At the 2018 CECF, the homecoming Qin Yong
aboard Ordosite won the Travel TV Cup, while Hong
Kong jockey James Chau partnered with Runway
Diva and claimed his first victory in mainland
China. However, the most amazing duel was between
25-year-old Hanteri “Kaka” and 40-year-old Liu
Sanping. Hanteri bagged a winner, a runner-up and a
third-place while Liu led with two more runner-ups in
the Best Jockey table. Their duel continued to the last
race, Green Energy Cup, when Hanteri was crowned
Best Jockey with another two triumphs. I M Best was
awarded best racehorse with 3 winners and 1 runner-
up. Deon Visser led as the Best Trainer.
