I may have watched a different interview but I'm pretty sure when asked the question that Becks said no, it shouldn't be banned. Can't be bothered watching it again, but I think that's flat wrong. -

Hong Kong Horse of the Year (2024/25) Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress) breezed effortlessly through his first official barrier trial on Friday morning on Sha Tin’s dirt course ahead of a return to racing on Sunday, 7 September followed by his historic bid to scale the world’s richest turf race in Australia. Aiming to win a second straight HK$3.72 million Class 1 HKSAR Chief Executive’s Cup Handicap (1200m) at the 2025/26 season’s curtain-raiser next month, Ka Ying Rising couldn’t have been more impressive as he sauntered across the finishing line by 14 and a quarter lengths in a time of 59.26s (1050m) today under trusted ally Zac Purton for dual Hong Kong Champion Trainer (1997/98 & 1998/99) David Hayes. Purton said: “You’d like to think he’s going to do it easily against those horses. It’s good to have him back out there going through his routine. He was on the wrong leg on the corner, it’s a bit frustrating how he does that, but apart from that it was all good. “He can get on the wrong leg and then in the straight he doesn’t change legs. The problem is it’s always been very easy for him in the mornings. When he gallops, he won’t change his legs because he’s just floating along and then on race day, he has got into a habit of doing the same thing.” A winner of his last 12 consecutive races, Ka Ying Rising dominated across an invincible eight-race 2024/25 campaign, headlined by two course records at Sha Tin over 1200m and four elite level successes: 2024 Gr.1 LONGINES Hong Kong Sprint (1200m), 2025 Gr.1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m), 2025 Gr.1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m) and 2025 Gr.1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m). “He’s not fit, so he’s not going to feel at his best at the moment. He needed the trial and he’s going to improve from it. He was feeling it, which is good. Now he’s got to improve. We just wanted to see him come back nice and he’s done that. So that’s a first step. It’s a long way to go,” Purton said. Five-year-old Ka Ying Rising, rated 134 locally with HK$65.97 million banked, spent the off-season recharging at Conghua before returning to Sha Tin last week for today’s barrier trial as preparations ramp up towards his first race outside of Hong Kong on 18 October in Sydney, Australia: AU$20 million (approx. HK$100.34 million) Gr.1 The Everest (1200m). Ka Ying Rising will trial once more at Sha Tin on Saturday, 30 August. Group One winners Private Harry, Briasa and Jimmysstar also have slots in the lucrative showdown Down Under at Royal Randwick. Ka Ying Rising is expected to trial in Sydney before the race. Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse) also tuned up this morning before his HKSAR Chief Executive’s Cup tilt at Sha Tin, clocking a hard-fought 1m 09.29s over 1200m on the dirt – again with a set of blinkers applied – under rider Derek Leung for trainer Manfred Man. Leung said: “His action is good and everything is fine. This is first time back trialling, so he’s a bit heavy and a bit fat. His fitness should be better after this trial. I could feel his action was fine but he just needed a blow. It’s normal for every horse coming back.” Lucky Sweynesse is entered for 28 September’s Gr.1 Sprinters Stakes (1200m) in Japan, a race won by Hong Kong-trained runners Silent Witness (2005) and Ultra Fantasy (2010). “We still need to see how he runs on the first day. Everything is fine right now,” Leung said. View the full article -

With Blake Shinn on sidelines through suspension, Lindsay Park has gone to noted big race jockey Mark Zahra to ride Oak Hill (NZ) (Per Incanto) in a Stakes race at Moonee Valley. While the Listed Carlyon Stakes (1000m) on Saturday may not have the prestige of a Melbourne Cup or a Caulfield Cup, it is still a nice little race to put on the CV. Zahra has not taken the race since it earned Black Type status for the 2011 edition, while Lindsay Park’s sole win came in 2018 with Faatinah. Only Ben Hayes was a part of the Lindsay Park training partnership then, preparing the sprinter with his father David Hayes and cousin Tom Dabernig. Since joining current trainers Ben, Will and J D Hayes, Oak Hill is unbeaten in his two start and was a convincing winner in a benchmark 100 contest over Saturday’s course and distance on August 9 to commence his campaign. Oak Hill was previously prepared by Mike Moroney and Glen Thompson before switching to Lindsay Park when successful at Caulfield in May. The sprinter will be chasing his fifth win at The Valley from six starts and is aiming to secure a first success at Stakes level. The gelding’s only previous Stakes level run was up the straight at Flemington in the Listed Bob Hoysted Stakes (1000m) in March, after which he went to Echuca to run second to Midwest in the Country Discovery (1000m) in April. Ben Hayes said if Oak Hill can continue on his upward spiral and complete back-to-back Moonee Valley win, then the Gr.1 Moir Stakes (1000m) on September 6 is likely to be on the agenda. The early season Moonee Valley treble was completed by Mornington Glory, an opponent on Saturday, last year. Hayes said Oak Hill had bounced out of his first-up win well and did a nice piece of work on Tuesday to have him ready for Saturday’s contest. “We took him back to the farm and he did a bit of striding work towards the end of last week, and he’s freshened up well,” Hayes said. “He’s got a great record at The Valley, he’s nearly undefeated there and he didn’t have long off (after his last prep) so he’s got a base on him. “I think it’s a nice race to target and if we’re really happy with him then we’ll head towards the Moir. “He’s a beautiful, big, strong horse that’s nice and sharp, so I think he deserves his shot.” View the full article
