After his devastating win in last month s Group 1 Longines Hong Kong Mile, hometown hero Golden Sixty pleased his connections at Sha Tin this morning with a trial in typical fashion ahead of the G1 Stewards Cup (1,600 meters) on Jan. 24.
“I m happy with his trial, in the trial you can relax him – he doesn t show much, he never does,” trainer Francis Lui said.
The son of Medaglia d Oro went through his first barrier trial of the new year under his own steam, traveling wide throughout before crossing the line fourth, while the Caspar Fownes-trained Southern Legend went home best in a time of 1:11.73 with stablemate Rise High just behind him.
