Kav says: 'He can then have a rest up there in the Queensland sun and then we'll bring him home and get him ready for the spring...He'll be set on a Cox Plate campaign again. He's been beaten just once at the track and has won over the distance and I doubt we'll see the track served up as hard as it was last Cox Plate day. It was a strangely run race and it was an unusually hard track.'
Australian bred and sold sensation Luen Yat Forever confirmed his star qualities by thumping his rivals to win Saturday's Grp 1 Macau Gold Cup (1800m). In winning the time honored feature event, Luen Yat Forever was able to win a HK$300,000 bonus for winning all three legs of the Macau Triple Crown. The gelding is turning into an incredible money maker considering he cost just $32,000 from the draft of Glenlogan Park at the 2006 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale. As it stands he's earned the equivalent of $821,019 from his 10 wins and eight placings from just 20 starts. (www.breednet.com.au).

The target, then, is the Grp 1 Winter Stakes for fillies and mare on June 19.
