Score one for the old guard!
In his 51st start, 8 year old Joy and Fun shows them how it's done!
Please please please let Sacred Kingdom's owners let him retire now. It's time and he's earned it many times over.

Racing Incident Report
LITTLE BRIDGE and RICH UNICORN bumped at the start. From the outside barrier, SACRED KINGDOM was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. Making the turn near the 850 Metres, LET ME FIGHT got its head up and proved difficult to settle when being steadied away from the heels of LITTLE BRIDGE which shifted in when only just clear. After the 400 Metres, RICH UNICORN was shifted out to obtain clear running after being momentarily held up behind EAGLE REGIMENT and inside JOY AND FUN. Throughout the race, BLAZE KING travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of SACRED KINGDOM, EAGLE REGIMENT and LET ME FIGHT after the race did not show any significant findings. JOY AND FUN and LUCKY NINE were sent for sampling.
