Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Friday at 06:33 AM Journalists Posted Friday at 06:33 AM Kiwi-bred sprinting sensation Ka Ying Rising’s (NZ) (Shamexpress) star continues to rise, with the son of Shamexpress rated the world’s best turf horse in the latest Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings. Bred by Marton horseman Fraser Auret under his Grandmoral Lodge Racing, the four-year-old gelding has been an unstoppable force for trainer David Hayes in Hong Kong, winning 13 of his 15 starts in the competitive racing jurisdiction. He is undefeated in the current term, recording eight successive victories, including the Gr.1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m), Gr.1 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1400m), Gr.1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200m), Gr.1 Hong Kong Sprint (1200m), Gr.2 Spring Cup (1200m), Gr.2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint (1400m), and Gr.2 Premier Bowl (1200m). With a rating of 126, Ka Ying Rising sits level with reigning Hong Kong Horse of the Year Romantic Warrior, and just one point in arrears of US$20 million Gr.1 Saudi Cup (1800m) winner Forever Young. Fellow Kiwi-bred Antino also features in the top 20 horses, with a rating of 120 after winning the Gr.1 Doomben Cup (2000m) last month. View the full article Quote
