Romantic Warrior Prepares for G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup Challenge
Romantic Warrior, a racehorse trained by Danny Shum, will compete in the G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup at Sha Tin on Sunday with Zac Purton as the jockey.
The race is 2400 meters long and will be Romantic Warrior's first time racing at that distance.
He has had 10 wins and 2 seconds from 13 starts and has earned HK$81,725,400 in prize money.
The horse is known for his ability to win at 1200 meters and will face competition from other Group 1 winners such as Russian Emperor and Panfield.
Zac Purton has ridden Romantic Warrior in workouts and is confident that he can win the race, but acknowledges that the distance may be a challenge for the horse.
