Yes, a decisive win, he was unlucky in the Centenary Sprint, and the 1200m probably suits him rather better than it does AC.
He’s definitely the best sprinter in the world. It would be great if both of them were to turn up at Royal Ascot this year.

Perhaps Bob Baffert could convince Midnight Lute’s owners to make it a dead 8
I don’t think there needs to be any specifics here – Sacred Kingdom is the best sprinter in the world.
Gold Ediion retired after the Lightning Stakes, by the way.
Actually, funny that this thread was created because immediately after the Australia Stakes, some bloke behind us roared that Apache Cat was the best sprinter in the world. I wanted to grill him for 5 minutes about it but felt he probably had won a stack and the adrenalin was rushing through him to mutter that moronic statement.
I’m looking forward to seeing a rematch between SK and MA because she clearly hated the right hand track at Sha Tin but he truly was an impressive winner at the international meeting.
I’d have to say though the placegetters in that race wouldn’t come near half a dozen Aussie sprinters, so let’s not blow him out of proportion.
All that matters is Sacred Kingdom, a graduate from Melbourne’s Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, thumped Absolute Champion, formerly raced as Genius And Evil in Sydney and a Group 2 winner at Rosehill; the pair ran their own race. The remainder were a class below.
At last years Royal Ascot the best British sprinters were not there / at their best.
Sakhees Secret, Dutch Art, Kingsgate Native and Benbaun will give the Aussies a fright this year.Value Is EverythingAnd we truly hope so down here. None of those internationally knowledgeable in the racing scheme of things recognise the King’s Stand wins of Takeover Target and Miss Andretti to be anything on par with their Newmarket Handicap victories or other Group 1 triumphs in Australia.
Look at Choisir and the 2003 King’s Stand. He defeated Middle Park Stakes, Prix Morny first-past-the-post and Queen Mary Stakes winners at 2, an awesome Hong Kong Sprint winner in Firebolt and the previous year’s Prix de L’Abbaye and July Cup winner Continent.
Add the Cheveley Park winner Airwave to the Golden Jubilee mix later in the week and it was some sort of double Choisir was able to achieve. I still wonder if he is better than Miss Andretti and Takeover Target in this instance of international competition.
