Golden Sixty out to extend superstar record in Stewards’ Cup

Francis Lui’s prolific winner bids for 12th straight success.
Francis Lui is expecting the Hong Kong Stewards’ Cup to provide another significant test for his superstar Golden Sixty as he bids for a 12th consecutive victory at Sha Tin. Golden Sixty will be a long odds-on favourite as he vies for Sunday’s HK$12million prize against seven rivals – six of whom he has defeated previously. Only Rise High has not crossed paths with the Australian-bred, but Lui is not allowing himself to become complacent.Golden Sixty has dominated the Hong Kong racing scene for much of the past two years, winning 14 of his 15 starts since making his first appearance for Lui in 2019. Each of those triumphs, and indeed the sole loss, has been on the home turf of Sha Tin racecourse – where Lui is based and trains his string. Golden Sixty took his first Group contest last January when winning the Chinese Club Challenge Cup over seven furlongs, before gradually stepping up in trip to eventually land the Hong Kong Derby – run over 10 furlongs.
The Pride of Hong Kong!
