Hong Kong Racing Tips: Tourbillon has a Diamond chance at Sha Tin
Danny Shum s horses have been running well recently.
IF THERE is one horse who you can guarantee the local racing population will have their eye on it is the undisputed champion Golden Sixty who lines-up in the Champions Mile (8.55am).
Ranked joint-fifth in the world’s best racehorses, the Francis Lui-trained five-year-old extended his winning sequence to 13 when winning the Group 1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup in February, and now totals 16 wins from 17 starts.
With only five rivals taking him on, it would be a huge shock about him getting beat and his very short odds will reflect his chances.

Mishriff posted a one length victory in the Saudi Cup over Charlatan [120], who was also making his first start of 2021. Last year, Mishriff s biggest score came when he won the Prix du Jockey Club (G1) in France.
Australia s Nature Strip (AUS) [121] is the second highest rated horse in the first edition of the rankings for 2021 after his half-length win in the Black Caviar Lightning (G1) in February, which served as the multiple Group 1 winner s first start of the season.
In co-third, along with Charlatan, are Hong Kong-based runners Exultant [120] and Golden Sixty (AUS) [120]. Golden Sixty, who has now won 13 races in a row, took the Stewards Cup (G1) in January over Southern Legend [118] and Ka Ying Star [117], and he beat Furore [117] and Exultant in the Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (G1) in February. Exultant came into that race having finished second in the Centenary Vase (G3) while carrying 133lbs.

Golden Sixty (right) is all out to record his 13th consecutive win at Sha Tin in Hong Kong
Golden Sixty extended his unbeaten run to 13 straight wins with victory in Sunday s Group 1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup at Sha Tin.
However, Hong Kong s highest rated horse was forced to spare no effort as he scrambled to add a third consecutive Group 1 to his glittering record which now stands at 16 wins from 17 starts, four shy of Silent Witness record 17 consecutive wins.
Dropped out to his customary position at the rear of the field, the Medaglia d Oro gelding began his surge in the straight but the challenge from Furore on the inside required jockey Vincent Ho to call on everything that Golden Sixty could give and, it proved just enough as he prevailed by a short head, the smallest margin of any of his wins.
