Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 2, 2021 Journalists Share Posted July 2, 2021 The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Champion Awards Judging Panel has decided to present a Lifetime Achievement Award to Beauty Generation (NZ) (Road To Rock) in recognition of his great contributions to Hong Kong racing. Twice Hong Kong’s Horse of the Year, Beauty Generation was crowned Hong Kong Champion Miler an unmatched three times. The New Zealand-bred gelding won 18 races from 34 starts in Hong Kong and earned HK$106,233,750, making him the highest-ever prize money earner in Hong Kong history. Beauty Generation also achieved the equal-highest international rating for a Hong Kong horse, joint at 127 along with Able Friend on the LONGINES World’s Best Racehorse Rankings. He was allotted that mark in both 2018 and 2019 and was honoured as the world’s leading specialist turf miler in both years. Bred by Greg Tomlinson’s Nearco Stud, Beauty Generation was sold through Highden Park’s 2014 New Zealand Bloodstock Select Yearling Sale draft for $60,000 to Kiwi supermodel Kylie Bax under her Hermes Syndications banner. The son of Road to Rock was initially trained in Australia by Anthony Cummings, where he raced as Montaigne, and was runner-up in the Gr.1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) before he was sold to Hong Kong.
