The second leg of the Hong Kong Triple Crown with a huge purse of HK$13 million, the Hong Kong Gold Cup is one of the highlights of the horse racing calendar. The Group 1 event is run over 2,000m (roughly 10 furlongs) of Sha Tin Racecourse turf, and Romantic Warrior and Voyage Bubble are the standout contenders today.

Six-year-old Romantic Warrior is a five-time Group 1 champion who rode to victory at the Hong Kong Cup in 2022 and 2023, while five-year-old Voyage Bubble took the top prize at the Hong Kong Stewards' Cup, the first leg of this season's Triple Crown.
Unfortunately for them – but tantalizingly for neutral observers – they've both been handed unfavorable draws. Romantic Warrior will take off from the widest stall, No.11, which has produced just one winner in Hong Kong Gold Cup history, while stall No.7, which Voyage Bubble will start from, has only gone one better.
Stall No.4 has been the launchpad for six Gold Cup winners, two more than the next-best stalls, and today it's reserved for Straight Arron, who's never won a Group 1 race before.
