Ka Ying Rising has been crowned Timeform's 2025 horse of the year. David Hayes' sprinting superstar became Timeform's highest-rated horse in training when achieving a rating of 135 for a facile victory on his return to action this season in the Chief Executive's Cup, where he gave multiple Group race-winning sprinters significant amounts of weight. The son of Shamexpress also received a second award, being named Timeform's Champion Sprinter. Following his reappearance in September he went on to land the global sprint showpiece, The Everest, at Randwick in October before returning to Sha Tin to defend his Group 1 Hong Kong Sprint crown at the Hong Kong International Races. On receiving the award at Sha Tin, David Hayes said, “It's been a perfect season for Ka Ying Rising. He keeps stepping up and improving, he just absorbs so much pressure so easily and puts the race away – he's a freak. “He has a massive stride and how fast he can go just takes other horses out of their comfort zone mid-race, it just blows them out and then he is able to extend away like no other horse I've ever trained. “He's the best I've ever trained. I'm a massive Black Caviar fan, she's an out and out champion and the best I've ever seen – for me, he is comparable to her and that's incredible to have a horse capable of that.” Calandagan was named Timeform's Champion Middle Distance performer following a standout campaign, where he was beaten only twice before notching four consecutive Group 1 victories across France, England and Japan. Francis Graffard's son of Gleneagles finished the season with a Timeform rating of 133, achieved with his win in the Group 1 Qipco Champion Stakes, before becoming the first European-trained winner of the Japan Cup since 2005. Graffard said, “Calandagan has really blossomed mentally and physically after we decided to stay at home for the Grand Prix de Saint Cloud in June. The partnership between Mickael (Barzalona) and the horse is working very well now, he has a lot of confidence in him and he's an incredible horse. He's very smart and well balanced, everything comes very easy for him. “The Japan Cup was a special day. We were the only foreign horse in the race, and he delivered an incredible performance. He broke the track record, beating a very good Japanese horse after a long journey – I don't think I will live that again! He is a champion and he never lets us down.” Meanwhile, Field Of Gold was crowned champion miler, Minnie Hauk landed the prize for champion filly and mare and Trawlerman was the top stayer.

The wording is beautiful, isn't it. From mid-January ... How is the disparity between stake money and on-course turnovers for the two clubs explained away? -

Do you think this announcement might have slightly upset @Reefton? Meeting News Waverley 28 January Stakes to $25,000 The Waverley twilight meeting on Wednesday 28 January will run for stakes of $25,000 for all eight races. This brings it in line with all twilight Wednesdays from mid-January through to the end of March. So the ONLY Wednesday meeting this year that didn't get twilight funding was ??? And to make matters worse, Reefton on a weekday with industry funding did oncourse turnover of $132k. The following Sunday, ATR (feature meeting at Ellerslie qith 460k stakes) just managed 100k.
