Ka Ying Rising: Ready to Shine in the £10 Million Everest Turf Race
Superstar sprinter Ka Ying Rising is gearing up for the highly anticipated £10 million Everest turf race in Sydney. Despite rumors circulating on social media suggesting he might not participate, the Hong Kong gelding, currently the top-ranked horse globally, remains the frontrunner for the 6f sprint event scheduled for Saturday. With an impressive winning streak of 13 races, Ka Ying Rising faced a brief setback when betting on the race was suspended due to concerns about his fitness following false information spread by a hacked media account.
Trainer David Hayes swiftly dismissed the rumors, confirming Ka Ying Rising's readiness for the race after a successful racecourse gallop in Canterbury. The horse's performance during the gallop and subsequent recovery indicated his peak condition, with Hayes expressing confidence in his star sprinter's form. Despite criticism of Ka Ying Rising's recent barrier trial, Hayes emphasized the progress made since then, highlighting the horse's improved weight and readiness for the upcoming race.
Hayes praised Ka Ying Rising's development post-trial, noting the positive signs leading up to the Everest race. With the horse showing significant improvement and responding well to recent training, Hayes expressed optimism about Ka Ying Rising's chances of delivering a strong performance on race day. Anticipating favorable weather conditions and a firm track, Hayes believes Ka Ying Rising is in top form and poised to excel in the prestigious turf race.
