G60 Scores Four at Longines HKIR Barrier Draw

Two-time reigning Hong Kong Horse of the Year Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) was allotted barrier four in a field of 10 mile specialists from Japan and Australia in addition to the locals as he shoots to equal the record of Good Ba Ba (Lear Fan) with a third consecutive victory in Sunday's G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin Racecourse.

Winner under a five-pound penalty of the G2 BOCHK Jockey Club Mile when making his seasonal debut three weeks ago, the 7-year-old has won 22 of his 25 starts to date for record Hong Kong earnings of over HK$116 million. With his chief rival California Spangle (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) expected to make the running from gate two and with a pair of get-back runners in Schnell Meister (Ger) (Kingman {GB}) and 2021 runner-up More Than This (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}) drawn one and three, respectively, Vincent Ho should be able to pick his spot and let Golden Sixty do the talking late.

“I got what I wanted,” trainer Francis Lui told South China Morning Post. “He can sit midfield and stay out of trouble. [Golden Sixty] is ready.”

On an afternoon where some HK$110 million is on offer, the G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup over the metric mile and a quarter is the day's richest at HK$34 million, not to mention the most interesting from a tactical standpoint. Panthalassa (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) is one of four in the race for Japan and landed the eight hole, with trainer Yoshito Yahagi assuring that the dead-heat winner of this year's G1 Dubai Turf will not be difficult to find.

“I don't care about the barrier draw because I know one thing–he will go to the front,” the colourful Yahagi, conditioner of last year's Cup heroine Loves Only You (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), told the Post.

 

 

 

His compatriot Jack d'Or (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}), whose sire won both a Hong Kong Mile (2015) and Hong Kong Cup (2016), could make things at least a bit tricky, as he may be ridden for speed by Yutaka Take from his low draw in two. The once-beaten Hong Kong rising star Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) and James McDonald leave from barrier seven in what is clearly his toughest task to date.

For obvious reasons, double-digit alleys are not preferred in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint, and gate 10 is not ideal for reigning champion sprinter Wellington (Aus) (All Too Hard {Aus}), though trainer Richard Gibson was taking it in his stride.

“Wellington, I'm pretty relaxed. He'll be finishing off from that draw, and that's maybe his forte. We're short of options. I haven't even spoken to Ryan [Moore], but at first glance, that's what we'll be doing,” he told SCMP.

Ryan Moore, who subs for the injured Alexis Badel, won the 2020 Sprint from the riverside draw aboard Danon Smash (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}). Conversely, the up-and-coming Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}) saw his already-strong hand fortified when landing a cosy slot in three.

Half of the field of 10 signed on for the G1 Longines Hong Kong Vase has shipped in from Europe, led by recent GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf runner-up Stone Age (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Half of an Aidan O'Brien-trained duo, the 3-year-old breaks from the inside stall and he should find himself in a race that is often times run at a crawl. Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}) carries Yutaka Take from gate six, while Mendocino (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}, gate 7) and Bubble Gift (Fr) (Nathaniel {Ire}, gate 6) and Godolphin's Botanik (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}, gate 5) have earned their right to tackle the race. Glory Vase (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) tries to make some history of his own as he goes for a third Vase in four years and second in a row and carries Joao Moreira from the four.

Golden Sixty, Glory Vase Set For Longines HKIR Three-Baggers

Invitations for this year's Longines Hong Kong International Races were made public prior to the start of the Happy Valley meeting Wednesday, with a total of 24 overseas horses–five more than last year–from Australia, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan and Singapore among the invitees.

In the history of the HKIR, only one horse–Good Ba Ba (Lear Fan)–has managed to score three victories at the meeting. More history could be made this year when two-time Hong Kong Horse of the Year Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) and Japan's Glory Vase (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) shoot for their third victories in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile and G1 Longines Hong Kong Vase, respectively.

Golden Sixty should be a warm favourite to complete the feat, having defeated California Spangle (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) in the G2 Jockey Club Mile on his seasonal debut Nov. 20. Japan, which is set to be represented by 14 runners across the races, has won the Mile on four occasions and fields a team of three, led by last year's third Salios (Jpn) (Heart's Cry {Jpn}) and Group 1 winner Schnell Meister (GB) (Kingman {GB}). The current connections of dual Group 1 winner Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) have also accepted, but her participation hinges on the results of the upcoming Tattersalls Sceptre Sessions, for which she holds an entry.

 

 

 

Glory Vase could face as many as 10 while looking to add to his wins here in 2019 and again last year, but he is not the highest-rated in the event. Broome (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), one of three invitees from Aidan O'Brien, is two pounds clear of Glory Vase and Germany's G1 Grosser Preis von Baden hero Mendocino (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) on 118. Ballydoyle could also send out Bolshoi Ballet (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and recent GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf runner-up Stone Age (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Joao Moreira has already picked up two HKIR rides for Japan and could climb back aboard Glory Vase in what could be his final rides at Sha Tin, after officially forfeiting his licence Wednesday.

 

 

 

Hong Kong's champion sprinter Wellington (Aus) (All Too Hard {Aus}) tops a full field of 14 in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint, but his participation is in some doubt after pulling up lame behind Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}) in last weekend's G2 Jockey Club Sprint. One of Moreira's rides comes aboard Resistencia (Jpn) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}), runner-up in last year's tragedy-marred Sprint, while G1 Sprinters' S. hero Gendarme (Kitten's Joy) also jets in. Lim's Kosciuszko (Aus) (Kermadec {NZ}) is Singapore's second highest-rated galloper and earns a spot in the field over three locally based runners.

 

 

 

The G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup looms the race of the day, as the once-beaten Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) takes on a classy bunch over the 2000 metres. Panthalassa (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) dead-heated with Lord North (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in this year's G1 Dubai Turf and most recently set a searching gallop in the G1 Tenno Sho (Autumn) before yielding late. Prior to that effort, the 5-year-old was reeled in by Jack d'Or (Jpn)–a son of 2016 Cup winner Maurice (Jpn)–in the G2 Sapporo Kinen. Japan is also represented by Classic winner Geoglyph (Drefong) and Lei Papale (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), sixth here last year and also a confirmed Moreira ride. Order Of Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}), best known for his 73-1 upset in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile, lands here where he will try a grassy 10 furlongs for just the third time in his 23-race career. The 5-year-old was fourth in the 2020 G1 Irish Derby going 2400 metres.

 

 

 

Andrew Harding, Executive Director, Racing for the Hong Kong Jockey Club, said, “Once more, we are delighted that the quality of selected runners for this year's Longines Hong Kong International Races is in keeping with our long-held commitment to deliver sporting excellence and this is highlighted with strong groups from Japan and Europe headed for Hong Kong to compete against Golden Sixty, Romantic Warrior and more.”

Worth a combined HK$110 million (£11.7m/€13.6m), the Longines Hong Kong International Races will take place in front of an expected crowd of better than 30,000 fans Sunday, Dec. 11 at Sha Tin Racecourse.

Golden Sixty Repeats As Hong Kong HOTY

Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) joined the likes of Hong Kong legends Fairy King Prawn (Aus), Silent Witness (Aus), Ambitious Dragon (NZ) and Beauty Generation (NZ) in being named Horse of the Year in Hong Kong for the second consecutive season during ceremonies held Friday evening at the Hong Kong Jockey Club's Happy Valley Clubhouse.

The 6-year-old won his first two starts of the year, including a facile defence of his title in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile in December, but suffered just the second loss of his career in the G1 Stewards' Cup in January when attempting to equal Silent Witness's record of 17 consecutive victories in Hong Kong. Only third when tried over the 10 furlongs of the G1 City Hong Kong Gold Cup, he was back to winning ways over his best trip in the G2 Chairman's Trophy in April and a second straight success in the G1 Champions Mile in May.

Trained by Francis Lui and the mount of Vincent Ho, Golden Sixty, who was also named champion miler and most popular horse, has amassed record Hong Kong earnings of better than HK$113 million (US$14.4 million), with 21 wins from 24 trips to the post.

 

WATCH: Golden Sixty repeats in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Mile

 

In a world without Golden Sixty, 4-year-old Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) would be a slam-dunk for Horse of the Year, but nonetheless was named champion of this year's Classic crop on the strength of victories in the Hong Kong Classic Mile and BMW Hong Kong Derby before stamping his authority on the G1 FWD QE II Cup in April. The Hong Kong International Sale graduate was also the most improved horse in the jurisdiction, having risen from the standard debut mark of 52 to a season-ending 122, and also took down honours as top middle-distance galloper as well.

Russian Emperor (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), third in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup and in the Stewards' Cup, ran out an easy 4 1/4-length winner of the Gold Cup and added the final Group 1 of the season–the Champions and Chater Cup over 2400 metres–to be named champion stayer. The former G3 Hampton Court S. hero is the 17th worldwide champion for the legendary Galileo.

By virtue of tallies in the G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) and G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize (1200m), Wellington (Aus) (All Too Hard {Aus}) earned champion sprinter honours, while the progressive Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}) was named champion griffin for a season that has thus far yielded four wins from six runs. The 3-year-old is declared for the Class 3 Joy and Fun H. (1200m) on Saturday's final program of the year at Sha Tin.

Zac Purton, who enters Saturday's finale in a tie with Joao Moreira on 132 riding victories, was named most popular jockey by public vote.

Favourites Oblige on FWD Champions Day

by Alan Carasso

There were no surprises among the winners on Sunday's FWD Champions Day program at Sha Tin Racecourse, as the betting favourites in each of the afternoon's three Group 1 affairs each prevailed with a fair bit of authority. Fittingly, the winners will each take down year-end honours in their respective divisions, even as the award for Hong Kong Horse of the Year figures to remain an open and much-debated question for the next 2 1/2 months.

Romantic Warrior Dusts Elders in QE II Cup…

In one of the afternoon's biggest surprises, BMW Hong Kong Derby winner Romantic Warrior (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) was crunched into $18 (4-5) favourtism as the gates loaded for the G1 FWD QE II Cup, but the once-beaten and relatively unexposed gelding proved more than equal to the task, storming home to score by two convincing lengths.

A touch keen around the first turn beneath Karis Teetan, who welcomed a baby girl into the world just this past Tuesday, Romantic Warrior settled better down the backstretch as he took up a midfield berth. Getting the jump 600 metres out on his chief market rival Russian Emperor (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})–who sat three wide without the benefit of cover for most of the second half of the race–the 300,000gns Tattersalls October yearling turned HK$4.8-million graduate of the Hong Kong International Sale launched his bid four deep at the top of the straight, took over a furlong from home and kicked on nicely to best Tourbillon Diamond (Aus) (Olympic Glory {Ire}) and last year's champion stayer Panfield (Chi) (Lookin At Lucky) in decisive fashion.

“It's been a great week with my little baby girl being born on Tuesday, so all my focus was going into her,” said Teetan, perenially among the top five riders in Hong Kong. “I was trying to be a daddy, but also put my focus into the racing.”

He added, “We had in mind that he's a bit younger than the other horses, but he's better than all of them and he proved what kind of horse he is today. [Trainer] Danny [Shum] and his team have done a great job.”

Of the four previous 4-year-olds to complete the Derby/QE II double–Vengeance of Rain (NZ), 2005; Ambitious Dragon (NZ), 2011; Designs On Rome (Ire), 2014; and Werther (NZ), 2016– only the first mentioned failed to be named Horse of the Year, due to the presence of the legendary Silent Witness (Aus).

Romantic Warrior, the sixth Group 1 winner for Rathbarry Stud's Acclamation, is the third foal from his dam, a daughter of Folk Opera, whose biggest racetrack success came in the 10-furlong GI E. P. Taylor S. at Woodbine and whose resume also includes a victory in the G2 Darley Prix Jean Romanet. Folk Melody's last listed produce is a 2-year-old colt of this season named Operation Gimcrack (Ire) (Showcasing {GB}), who fetched 160,000gns from Bryan Smart Racing at last year's Tattersalls October Sale.

Golden Sixty Makes History In Champions Mile…

Any lingering memories of consecutive losses earlier this season by reigning Horse of the Year Golden Sixty (Aus) (Medaglia d'Oro) have been well and truly washed away after the 6-year-old overpowered Derby runner-up California Spangle (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) in Sunday's G1 FWD Champions Mile, his second straight win in the event. The winner's share of HK$11 million and change for his unprecedented 21st victory makes Golden Sixty the richest galloper in the history of Hong Kong racing, surpassing the previous mark held by Beauty Generation (NZ).

California Spangle, off as the heavily backed $26 (8-5) second favourite, was gunned to the front by Zac Purton, who gave the Goffs Orby grad every conceivable chance, rationing out a moderate tempo. But, as he demonstrated in his bounce-back success in the G2 Chairman's Trophy last time, Golden Sixty is capable of sitting handier to the speed while still managing a finish, and such was the case again Sunday, as Golden Sixty raced just a few lengths in arrears on the turn, lowered the boom on his younger rival with a bit less than a quarter-mile to travel and coasted in. California Spangle gamely held for second while no match for the winner.

“He did well,” jockey Vincent Ho said in what might be the understatement of the year. “He travelled comfortably and, actually, when Zac steadied the pace a little bit, he started to travel a bit keen, but he is strong enough and brave enough to push through that gap and run them down easily.”

After first panning the idea of an overseas trip owing to the ongoing pandemic, trainer Francis Lui indicated such a journey might be in the cards after all, with the June 5 G1 Yasuda Kinen around a left-handed one-turn mile at Tokyo the potential target.

“Yes, he is entered already but of course, we have to see how he recovers and we also need to see the quarantine, whether we can go and how the arrangements work. If everything is easy, we will go,” Lui said.

Bred on the same cross as American Grade I winners Elate and New Money Honey and on a similar cross to champions Rachel Alexandra (HOTY) and Songbird, Golden Sixty has a foal half-sister by Medaglia d'Oro's G1 Golden Slipper S.-winning son Vancouver (Aus). Gaudeamus was most recently bred to Wootton Bassett (GB) on an Oct. 26 cover.

Wellington Repeats In Chairman's Sprint Prize…

Trainer Richard Gibson was not lacking for confidence ahead of Sunday's G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize, and defending champion Wellington (Aus) (All Too Hard {Aus}) made it look all too easy with the softest of victories. Having won the G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup and the G2 Sprint Cup in his two most recent appearances, the 5-year-old has all but locked up champion sprinter honours for the season.

One of the first to break the line, Wellington eased back into fifth position and he traveled with cover behind a good gallop up ahead. Traveling sweetly on the turn, he eased out four deep into the straight, descended on Computer Patch (Aus) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) at the furlong grounds and edged clear. Sky Field (Aus) (Deep Field {Aus}), winner of the accident-marred G1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint, was home third just ahead of an unlucky Super Wealthy (Aus) (Epaulette {Aus}) in fourth.

“I've been pinching myself for the last three weeks,” Gibson said. “The horse was ready three weeks ago and I was waking up every morning and saying to myself 'what can go wrong?' It was all going far too smooth. I thought we had the best horse, so it was a matter of getting our plans right. His groom has such a wonderful relationship with the horse and we knew if we ticked the boxes today, he'd get the job done.”

While Gibson might otherwise consider traveling Wellington–he saddled the ill-fated Gold-Fun (Ire) (Le Vie Dei Colori {GB}) to miss by a neck in the 2016 G1 Diamond Jubilee S. at Royal Ascot–the ongoing virus restrictions will keep Wellington at home near-term.

“Covid changes every two weeks,” Gibson added. “It seems too difficult. We've had such a wonderful season and we've now got plenty of time to sit down with the owners and have a chat.”

One of four top-level scorers for Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus})'s half-brother All Too Hard, Wellington–whose female family includes Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary winner Cerulean Sky (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}) and Group 1 Irish Oaks heroine Moonstone (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire})–has an unraced 2-year-old half-sister named Rotorua (Aus) (Star Witness {Aus}) and a foal full-sister.
