Ensuring a Triple Crown tilt remains an option, Lui declared that it will be under consideration whether Golden Sixty will be chanced with joining the great River Verdon, who accomplished the three-race sweep in 1994 with victory in the third and final leg – the G1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup (2400m) on 28 May.
“We’ll see. We have time to consider it because there is a long way to go – it is one of the options we have,” Lui said.
Golden Sixty is a possible to contest the G2 Chairman’s Trophy (1600m) on 9 April before tackling either the G1 FWD Champions Mile (1600m) or G1 FWD QEII Cup (2000m) on FWD Champions Day (30 April). The G1 Yasuda Kinen (1600m) on 4 June in Tokyo, Japan shapes as the Medaglia d’Oro gelding’s overseas target – should he go.
