FWD Champions Day recap: Ka Ying Rising's 20th straight, Romantic Warrior's fourth QE2 Cup, My Wish breaks through

from Idol Horse News Desk · host Idol Horse Network

Idol Horse editor Michael Cox and chief journalist David Morgan break down a stunning FWD Champions Day at Sha Tin. Ka Ying Rising extends his winning streak to 20 with another record time in the Chairman's Sprint Prize — and the Royal Ascot debate gets a reality check. Romantic Warrior makes it four QE2 Cups at age eight, with Danny Shum's training masterclass and Peter Lau's bold ownership decisions in the spotlight. My Wish takes the Champions Mile to give Mark Newnham his first Group 1, beating Cap Ferrat in a turnaround on last year's Derby form. Plus: Jantar Mantar's failure as favourite, Christophe Lemaire's ride on Masquerade Ball, Voyage Bubble's gutsy fifth, and what's ahead with the Tenno Sho Spring, the Guineas at Newmarket and Japan's Group 1 season ramping up.
