New Zealander Bruce Wallace has joined an ever growing list of trainers hoping to set up satellite stables in Sydney.

Wallace was at Randwick on Saturday to put the finishing touches on King Mufhasa before he leaves for Hong Kong and a tilt at the Champions Mile in two weeks.

Premier Kiwi trainer John Sargent has a Sydney base at Warwick Farm while Melbourne based Mike Moroney, who also operates stables on both sides of the Tasman, has applied for boxes at Randwick.

Adelaide's Sam Kavanagh is set to open a Sydney operation later this year and Peter Moody is looking to move his Sydney stable from Rosehill to Randwick.

Wallace, who stables his visiting horses with Jim and Greg Lee, is hoping he will be able to come to a partnership arrangement or share facilities with the brothers.

"Where we are at Takanini in Auckland has been re-zoned so we have to move anyway," Wallace said.

"It makes sense to be able to send some of the better horses to Sydney and I'm hoping to do that in the new season."

But first things first and King Mufhasa has been given a clean bill of health ahead of his trip to Hong Kong.

The reigning New Zealand champion was transferred to Wallace from Stephen McKee before his autumn campaign.

After a sub-par run in the Chipping Norton Stakes, the eight-year-old was found to have a previously undetected throat problem which required surgery.

A long neck second to Pierro in the George Ryder Stakes confirmed the success of the operation and earned the gelding a trip to Hong Kong.

"Everything is in order with him," Wallace said.

"All the vet checks have been good. I came over yesterday and watched him gallop and it's all systems go.

"He leaves on Monday and will have time to settle in.

"I like taking horses overseas and he is the ideal type."

Wallace is looking to King Mufhasa to improve on his Hong Kong record which includes a third by Kingston Bay in the 1996 Hong Kong Cup and Darazari's second two years later in the Vase.
