A very special mention also goes to Cape of Good Hope, who shrugged off a string of local second-place finishes to Silent Witness before going on to win the Global Sprint Series with Group One wins in the Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley and the Golden Jubilee Stakes in Royal Ascot at York. What a fine endorsement for our sport in Hong Kong.
