Ka Ying Rising, the world’s top-rated sprinter, has delighted David Hayes in his final fast turf gallop ahead of the LONGINES Hong Kong International Races on 14 December.
New Zealand-bred sprinting sensation Ka Ying Rising continued his dominance on Sunday when defending his crown in the Gr.2 BOCHK Private Banking Jockey Club Sprint (1200m) at Sha Tin.
After cementing his position as the world’s best sprinter when winning last month’s A$20 million The Everest (1200m) at Randwick, Ka Ying Rising has returned to Hong Kong where he will resume at Sha Tin on Sunday.
Having ridden in six previous editions of The Everest as well as multiple clashes with Ka Ying Rising in Hong Kong, James McDonald has a good idea of what to expect when the world’s highest-rated sprinter makes his Australian debut on Saturday.
