Writing this from high up in the Northern Hemisphere as winter sets in, it seems odd to be talking about next month's "summer" racing festival, but summer it is in South Africa, and if your seasonal affective disorder is setting in, do we have the cure for you. The G1 L'Ormarins Queen's Plate is Af- rica's oldest and most exclusive raceday, and we'll tell you ev- erything you need to know as it expands to two days in 2017 for the first time. Also in this issue, former Executive Direc- tor, Racing, of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Bill Nader, helps you navigate the city for this year's international races, and we'll introduce you to Hong Kong's "Magic Man." Back home in America, we sit down with owner Kaleem Shah, and over in England, Chris McGrath reacquaints readers with a famous racing man who has replaced fast horses with fast cars.
