Cheerrs also to Zac Attack Purton for refusing to ride Frederick Engels in the Sha Tin Vase (who was subsequently scratched)... nice to know he continues to be one of the good guys who puts the horse first (awfully close race for the jockey championship and the season will end pretty soon).

D Whyte 84 62 44 41 41 449 $95,593,750
Z Purton 77 73 40 44 28 460 $84,101,850

Not sure about Champion Mount who broke down in R2.

Douggie Whyte and Mosse granted permission to ride in the Yasuda Kinen.
