Vincent Ho was satisfied with Golden Sixty's performance after a leisurely 1200m barrier trial. The son of Medaglia D'oro remains on target to extend an imposing winning sequence to 13 with a third Gr.1 triumph in the Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup (2000m) at Sha Tin on 21 February.
Placed under no pressure at all, Golden Sixty finished seventh in an eight-horse trial over 1200m on the dirt at Sha Tin, crossing the line eight lengths behind Ka Ying Star, who clocked 1m 09.58s for the trip.
Preparing for a return to 2000m for the first time since the 2020 BMW Hong Kong Derby, Golden Sixty delighted Ho with an unruffled trial effort after his narrow last-start triumph in the Gr.1 Stewards’ Cup (1600m) over Southern Legend on 24 January.
