Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress) took another confident step towards the Longines Hong Kong International Races (HKIR) as he dashed well clear of a batch of top-class operators in a barrier trial at Sha Tin on Friday. The world’s top-rated sprinter broke well and ran keenly before surging down the 1200m dirt straight in a brisk 1m 10.19s under regular rider Zac Purton. The run provided a final tune-up before the HK$5.35 million Gr.2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint (1200m) at Sha Tin on 23 November. It was a commanding display from the five-year-old, who has won 14 consecutive races. Ominously for rivals targeting his HK$28 million Gr.1 Longines Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) crown on 14 December, handler David Hayes believes Ka Ying Rising has improved since conquering the AU$20 million (approx. HK$101 million) Gr.1 The Everest (1200m) in October. “It was an upper-class trial with some of Hong Kong’s best horses and he did what he does,” Hayes said. “A lot of horses … who have had these international trips come back better if they’ve handled it well. I think he has, and I’m actually confident that the trip has brought him on.” The outing was the five-time Group One-winner’s first trial since his return from Royal Randwick in Sydney, Australia, where he confirmed his credentials as racing’s best sprinter with a convincing win in the world’s most valuable turf race. Purton said his enthusiasm was obvious. “He’s very fresh. He’s very eager to get on with things – he’s probably going 10 per cent keen,” the 42-year-old said. “He trialled well, so that’ll take the stuffing out of him a little bit and he can relax now until race day.” View the full article -
I think Walt was pretty crook , and had returned to his native Nelson from Auckland after an absence of some years, to enjoy memories from the past that he kindly shared with us here for a time. seemed a kind and knowledgeable bloke. Hesi was just reflecting on several regular posters at forums over the years that had passed in recent times. I guess we have quite an aged cohort , so mostly quite a few are battling health issues. Condolences to the family and friends of Gary Williams. that was a long article on him that you referred to on the HRNZ with his sudden passing . he had quite a history. Lately = A member of the ATC race night Steward team that helped with the co-ordination of syndicates, winning owners and trainers and the like on race nights. I don't recall 'TAB 4 Ever' mentioning these activities so feel he is different person ?, but did race in both codes as Mr Williams did in Syndicates and the like (including Changeover in the Cup for Mr Williams ) many folk do race both codes of horses, and one friend I write to, and was competing with in on-line racing comp's in NZ , does have current very handy trotters in the North Island, and also shares in Te Akau gallopers as well. So I think this type of owner is not uncommon in NZ. Is great these type of blokes supporting the racing scene and wish them well. -
