Young Emperor and Romantic Son clash for a second time at Happy Valley today in the HK$1.86 million Class 3 Fung Mo Handicap over 1200m, with the latter seeking payback after he was overhauled as a well-fancied favourite last month.
In that race it was Young Emperor who powered to victory from draw eight as an unfancied 41-1 chance for trainer David Eustace and an in-form Luke Ferraris. The 22-year-old South African ace has nine wins from 76 rides this season and is aiming to extend the three-year-old son of Holy Roman Emperor's record to a perfect two-for-two in Hong Kong.
"I thought it was a really good win. It caught everyone a bit by surprise, so that's always a good thing. He's got a similar barrier this time round (No 9), but he's showing us that he does have a pretty lethal turn of foot and I think he can get a similar run in transit," Ferraris said.
