ROMANTIC WARRIOR (IRE)

- walked 1 lap, jogged 6 laps left-handed on the exercise track surrounding the international stables, jogged 1/4 lap, cantered 1 lap left-handed, walked 1/4 lap right-handed on dirt course
(exercised from 7:20 AM to 7:45 AM, ridden by Ka Tai Lau)

“After yesterday’s gallop, he seems more fit, and he looks happy.
He weighed 1144 pounds yesterday afternoon.
A couple of more kilos would nice and since he still has a few more days till the race, I’m not worried.
We schooled him through the saddling area and the paddock this morning and he was excited but not over excited and it was good.
Regarding the draw, data wise, somewhere between the middle and the outside would be ideal.
Up to the race he will do the same kind of light work on the dirt track.”

VOYAGE BUBBLE (AUS)

- walked 3 laps, jogged 6 laps left-handed on the exercise track surrounding the international stables, jogged 1/4 lap, cantered 1 lap left-handed, walked 1/4 lap right-handed on turf course
(exercised from 7:12 AM to 7:46 AM, ridden by Yan Kin Lau)

“He went on the turf for the first time this morning and did a canter, just to get the feel of the course and let him run the hills because in Sha Tin, the course is more flat.
He was very happy on the turf and he handled the uphill and downhill very well.
The condition of the turf was very good and I hope it’s the same on race day.
He was very quiet when we schooled him in the saddling area and the paddock.
His weight has recovered to 547kg and we’re happy with that.
Tomorrow he will gallop on the turf course.”
