F. C. Lor

Birthday: Feb 14, 1966

Nationality: Hong Kong

Background:
Age: 57. Frankie Lor began his career as a rider in Hong Kong, notching 27 wins between 1981 and 1995. He became a work rider and then an assistant to a number of trainers, most notably to two of Hong Kong's greats, John Moore and John Size. Lor was granted a full licence ahead of the 2017/18 Hong Kong racing season. His first win was achieved with his first runner, Yourthewonforme, in a Class 4 contest at the season opener on 3 September, 2017. Lor ended that campaign second in the championship behind his old master John Size. His final tally of 65 wins surpassed Hong Kong's previous best first-season total, set by Size when winning his first Hong Kong trainers' championship in 2002. Lor landed his first G1 wins in only his second season, scooping a double at the 2018 LONGINES HKIR with Mr Stunning (Hong Kong Sprint) and Glorious Forever (Hong Kong Cup). That season also saw him land a first Hong Kong Derby triumph as he swept the 2019 Four-Year-Old Classic Series with Furore and Mission Tycoon. Mr Stunning brought Lor another G1 success in the Chairman's Sprint Prize in the 2019/20 season. Lor closed out another season of remarkable consistency with fine 65 wins in 2020/21 and a second Hong Kong Classic Cup success. In 2021/22, Lor shot the lights out with a personal best 90 wins to achieve his lifelong dream of being crowned Hong Kong Champion Trainer in 2021/22. He also added three more Group race wins to his tally, namely the Jockey Club Cup, Chinese Club Challenge Cup and Bauhinia Sprint Trophy that season. Lor finished another consistent season with 65 wins, just beaten by John Size near the end of the season in the battle of trainer's premiership.
