Forever Young reeled in Hong Kong superstar Romantic Warrior in the final few strides to get the better of a truly epic duel for the Saudi Cup in Riyadh.
The pair dominated the betting for the nine-furlong showpiece, with the Japanese runner Forever Young already proven on a dirt track with placed finishes in the Kentucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic – while in contrast Romantic Warrior was taking a step into the unknown on the surface.
It looked as though James McDonald had made a winning move aboard the Danny Shum-trained Romantic Warrior – the world’s highest-earning racehorse – when he switched four wide on the bend and set sail for home.
Forever Young was caught for pace as Romantic Warrior accelerated in tremendous fashion, but entering the final furlong Forever Young was gaining with every stride, eventually just putting his head in front on the line to secure top honours in the world’s most valuable race.
