Lucky Nine (horse)

Lucky Nine (Chinese: 天久 , originally Luck or Design) is an Irish-bred, Hong Kong–based racehorse.

He was sired by Dubawi, a son of Dubai Millennium who won the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the Prix Jacques Le Marois in 2005.

Luck or Design was then sold and exported to race in Hong Kong where he was renamed Lucky Nine.

Racing in international competition he finished second in Japan's Centaur Stakes in 2011 and third in the Dubai Golden Shaheen in 2012.

Lucky Nine went to Singapore for the International Sprint (Kris Flyer) Group 1 race in May 2013, and easily accounted for an international field that included Australian horse Bel Sprinter (who managed to come second).
