RIYADH – The Saudi Cup Hall of Fame greeting visitors at the King Abdulaziz racecourse in Saudi Arabia will for the first time not feature a new name on its not-so-wide wall – Forever Young.

The Japanese superstar was already a horse of a lifetime for owner Susumu Fujita, colourful trainer Yoshito Yahagi and jockey Ryusei Sakai, but has now rewritten the short six-year history of the world’s richest race by becoming the first galloper to enter the honour roll twice after he landed the US$20 million (S$25.2 million) 1,800m contest on Feb 14, back to back from his maiden win in 2025.
