The much-anticipated return bout between Joe Lau’s Sacred Capital and Wayne Smith’s Star Of Yiu Cheung, draws closer with Sunday’s 30th running of the Group 1 Macau Gold Cup over 1800 metres.
Eric Cheung has enjoyed a wonderful first season as a senior rider and he added to that with another four winners over the weekend, to take him to 56 winners for the season, and sounding an ominous warning to champion jockey Luis Corrales for next year.
A double for Stanley Chin on Sunday’s turf and sand race card, must surely have his second Macau Champion Trainer’s Title signed sealed and delivered, with a now six-win lead over Sio Cheong, with only three race days remaining.
