Viva Pataca struggled toward the end of the 2010 season. He raced really well in April when he was 3rd behind Able One in the Chairmans Trophy, and when he beat Lizard's Desire to win the Audemars Piguet Q.E.II Cup. Also had a bright run in May when he was 3rd behind Mr. Medici in the Champion's and Chatter Cup in that driving rain. But seem to lose his form in November's Jockey Club Cup, December's Hong Kong Vase, and January, 2011's Steward's Cup. You still have to love his old heart though.
I love Viva Pataca. The old man of Hong Kong that's absolutely all heart. There's nothing sweeter than seeing an 8 yr.old that still races with the ability and the enthusiasm of a 4yr.old!!!!
