Ramadan needs to turn it around in turf trial

A 1600-meter turf trial 10 days before the 2025 Hong Kong Classic Mile will let trainer Mark Newnham know if his new prospect Ramadan is ready for the first leg of the series for four-year-olds after his Hong Kong Mile flop.

Ramadan was already owned by Zhang Yuesheng, owner of Yulong, when he was a long last in the Hong Kong Mile for former trainer James Ferguson. The horse has now been transferred to Newnham and can re-start training with his new trainer from Saturday, working separately to the rest of the horse population while he completes three weeks of quarantine.
