BRINGING ASIAN RACING TO THE WORLD
Trainer John Size has the top two spots in rankings - and four horses in the top 14 - after Beauty Eternal put himself in the Derby ratings frame with a stylish win on Sunday at Sha Tin.
An impressive Class 3 performance by Beauty Eternal has sent the John Size-trained prospect rocketing up Asian Racing Report’s Hong Kong Derby Rankings.
Beauty Eternal jumped from number 11 to number two after handling his 1400m assignment with relative ease.

The rising star’s rating is now 84 after the victory off a mark of 74, and John Size will have some interesting options next start.
While most Derby contenders will head to the Hong Kong Classic Cup in just under two weeks, Size may opt to step up to a 1600m Class 2 with Beauty Eternal.
He could also wait one more week and head to the 1800m Class 2 – the race dubbed the “Collection Handicap” – which is two weeks before the big race.
Size now has the top two in the Asian Racing Report Hong Kong Derby Rankings after Tuchel retained top spot.
