As two-time Hong Kong Vase (G1) winner Glory Vase was making hard work of trying to win a third, it was the other Japanese shipper, Win Marilyn, who swooped late to score a new career high Sunday at Sha Tin.

Before Golden Sixty’s three-peat bid in the Hong Kong Mile (G1), Glory Vase will try to become the first three-time winner of the Hong Kong Vase (G1) on Sunday.

Alpinista extended her winning streak to eight in Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1), driving through the very soft going to defeat Vadeni and defending champion Torquator Tasso at ParisLongchamp.
