Romantic Warrior Stuns in Hong Kong Cup
Romantic Warrior won the Longines Hong Kong Cup by four and a half lengths. Danon The Kid finished second, Money Catcher, Tourbillon Diamond and Russian Emperor third, fourth and fifth for Hongkong. Geoglyph came home a creditable sixth. Jack d’Or and Panthalassa were well held in seventh and tenth. Shum wants to target the Hong kong Triple Crown over 1600m, 2000m and 2400m. River Verdon achieved the feat once before in 1994. He has won nine of his ten races since his debut at Happy Valley in October 2021.
Joao Moreira's final day in Hong Kong didn't end in the way he wanted, but he was overwhelmed by the reception he received. Joao is a four-time Hongkong champion jockey.
