Trained by John Size, Beauty Eternal started a hot favourite in the recent Hong Kong Derby, but came up marginally short when beaten half a length into third place after posting three successive wins.

Sent out favourite for the 1400m Class 2 event on Sunday, Beauty Eternal charged to the line late for Zac Purton to snatch a last stride win taking his overall record to five wins ad two placings from seven starts.

Beauty Eternal is one of 14 winners in Hong Kong from 21 runners for Starspangledbanner and they are headed by Group I winner California Spangle, who was a gallant third to the champion Golden Sixty in the Group I Champion’s Mile on Sunday.
