At Sha Tin racecourse in Hong Kong, Darley's unbeaten European Champion juvenile & dual Gr1-winning shuttler Teofilo (Galileo-Speirbhean, by Danehill) added a Gr1 triumph when 5YO Irish-bred gelding Exultant (Teofilo-Contrary, by Mark Of Esteem) scored by 1.3-length for trainer Tony Cruz in the HK$10 million Gr1 Standard Chartered-Chater Cup (2400m). Ridden, as usual, by high-flying jockey Zac Purton, Exultant defeated 5YO gelding Rise High and 4YO gelding Dark Dream. Sitting one out, one back, for the entire trip, Exultant appeared a little flat-footed after turning for home before getting into his work. His exemplary record now stands at 9 wins (also including the Gr1 Hong Kong Gold Cup, Gr1 Longines Hong Kong Vase, Gr3 Centenary Vase, Gr3 Premier Plate & Gr3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup) & 8 placings (including the Gr1 QEII Cup, Gr1 Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup, Gr2 BOCHK Jockey Club Cup, Listed Hong Kong Classic Mile, Listed BMW Hong Kong Derby & Listed Hong Kong Classic Cup) from 22 starts for £4,283,354 in earnings.
