Superstar Hong Kong Sprinter Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress) ended a record season with a sparkling victory in the sprint price (1200 m) in Sha Tin on Sunday in Sha Tin.
Ka Ying Rising, who defeated his unbeaten record to 12 consecutive races in the defeat of a world-class field of 12 rivals in a winning time of 1m 07.88s. Sweyness (2022/23).
The four-year-old Shamexpress Wallach of the world's best sprinter was untouched with Zac Purton's whip.
Ka Ying Rising, who settled perfectly behind the speed, had the race at the mercy of his Mercy when Purton loosened him and accelerated the 250 m to achieve an effortless victory to achieve his fourth Gr.1 win from GR.1 and 21.78 for the last 400 m.
The sprint sensation collected $ 12 million for victory and achieved a bonus of the 5 million-speed series in HK $ after reaching the three-race challenge with earlier victories in the GR.1 Centenary Sprint Cup (1200 m) and GR.1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup this season.
Ka Ying Rising was trained by David Hayes and also corresponded to another record that corresponded to most victories in one season – eight – from Beauty Generation (2018/19) and Lucky Sweynesy (2022/23).
He is now sent to a spell to prepare for potentially largest salary day and the first international task in the richest lawn race in the world, the (approx. HK $ 100 million) size.
Purton said: “What can you say more? Every time you come here, he produces something special and he did it again today and he didn't even change his leg. He quickly puts it away.
“He is getting better. He can take a break now and the next one is the large one.
“The race was very well planned. It started well and I was able to simply dive into a pretty place with the way the race developed. I just kept it straightforward and let him do his thing.
“Once again he was brilliant. He had a long season, he was exceptional all the way and it is a good way to end her.
“He did what he had to do. The route has set up a little gibs today, so it won't run faster when people look at the clock, but it is much faster than the other horses today.”

Hayes also congratulated Purton on his trip.
“It was a great trip from Zac. He took the seating plate and didn't want to go into his pocket and went a little early, but if you are on an opportunity of US dollars, take out luck,” said Hayes.
“I can't wait to see the repetition. Now everything is a bit out of focus. He had a perfect preparation and a perfect season. It is just nice, nothing went wrong.
“Zac said that if they went slowly, he would lead and if they go too quickly, he will follow. They broke 1:08, I think that's about the fifth time that he did it.”
Hayes said Ka Ying Rising probably got a little early and stared, but he did the job and he won with a decent lead.
“It is a good effort to make the Triple Crown, and he is only four, so I think that we can look forward to a lot in the coming seasons,” he said.
“What he starts is that he is not one -dimensional. He can take it up or let it sit. He easily pulled in the middle of the race, but I love the fact that he can sit.
Hayes said Ka Ying Rising would go straight to Conghua.
“He loves it up there and he will have a month for himself if he goes out in the pretty day paddocks. Then we will be aimed at making him ready with Everest at the beginning of the next season,” said Hayes.
Ka Ying Rising was bred by coach Fraser Auret with his wife Erin under her racing banners of the Grandmoral Lodge and was born, broken down, broken down and originally trained in Aurets, before he was sold to Lindsay Park after an impressive outbreak in Levin.
