    Timeless Champion

    The Pride of Hong Kong – Golden Sixty – landed a record-tying third HK$32 million G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m) triumph. Returning first-up after a 224-day break between runs, Golden Sixty – an eight-year-old – showed no signs of slowing down with age as jockey Vincent Ho masterfully overcame the widest of 14 barriers to prevail as 2.3 favourite in 1m 34.10s.

    Romantic victory

    LONGINES Hong Kong Cup hero Romantic Warrior brought a maiden Hong Kong International Races success for 62-year-old trainer Danny Shum, who rode 24 winners as a jockey in Hong Kong between 1977 and 1983. He then learned his craft as a trainer with the legendary Ivan Allan before being awarded a licence in his own right for the 2003/04 season.

    Golden record

    Golden Sixty stands alone as Hong Kong’s most prolific winner in history after he successfully defended his G1 LONGINES Hong Kong Mile (1600m). Hong Kong’s champion savoured the 19th win of his career to set a new record in town, dating back to when the professional era of Hong Kong racing commenced in 1971.
