Cambridge trainer Andrew Forsman was justifiably pleased with the efforts of his well-travelled galloper Aegon, who attacked the line well under James McDonald for fifth in Sunday’s Gr.1 Champions Mile (1600m) in Hong Kong.
The irony of Aegon running at the highest level in Australia in what may arguably be a lesser challenge for more than double the prizemoney of a feature event at home hasn’t been lost on Andrew Forsman.
