Foaled in New Zealand on 3 September 2020 and originally named Mr Express, Ka Ying Rising is a bay gelding by Shamexpress out of Missy Moo (by Per Incanto), bred by Fraser Auret of Grandmoral Lodge.
Racingracingnews.hkjc.com+15Wikipedia+15Racenet+15. He arrived in Hong Kong via Australia in early 2023 under the care of Hall of Famer trainer David Hayes and the Ka Ying Syndicate Wikipedia.
In his juvenile season (2023/24), the gelding won five of his seven starts—including the Group 3 Sha Tin Vase (1,200 m)—and earned Champion Griffin and Most Improved Horse honors at the HKJC Champion Awards, after rapidly rising from a rating of 52 to 111 racingnews.hkjc.com+3breednet.com.au+3racingnews.hkjc.com+3.
In the 2024/25 racing campaign, Ka Ying Rising embarked on a phenomenal winning streak, securing 12 consecutive victories—including four Group 1s (Hong Kong Sprint, Centenary Sprint Cup, Chairman’s Sprint Prize, Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup) idolhorse.com+15racingnews.hkjc.com+15Racenet+15.
He shattered Sacred Kingdom’s nearly two-decade-old Sha Tin 1,200 m track record, clocking 1:07.43 in the Group 2 Jockey Club Sprint—a testament to his elite-class speed racing.com+10windsorparkstud.co.nz+10Racenet+10.
By April 2025 his streak had extended to 11 consecutive victories, confirmed by another dominant display in the Group 2 Sprint Cup, where he cruised home three lengths clear in 1:08.18, giving jockey Zac Purton and trainer Hayes no concernsracing.com+1races.com.au+1.
His final Hong Kong run came in the Chairman’s Sprint Prize on Champions Day, capping an 8-for-8 season and earning Horse of the Year, Champion Sprinter, and Champion Four-Year-Old titlesracingnews.hkjc.com+1racingnews.hkjc.com+1.
By then, his official rating had rocketed to 132, firmly making him the world’s highest-rated sprinterracing.com+2breedingracing.com+2australianturfclub.com.au+2.
Ka Ying Rising had already attracted strong interest from Everest slot-holders as early as late 2024. Two slot-holders were in contact with Hayes and his owners for the 2025 running, and it was widely expected that if he clinched the Hong Kong International Sprint in December, he would be the first confirmed entrant for that year’s Everestpunters.com.au+2Racenet+2Racenet+2.
After his undefeated season and Chairman’s Sprint Prize win, his Everest slot deals were finalised, and Ka Ying Rising was officially confirmed to contest the $20M The Everest at Royal Randwick on 18 October 2025, with the Hong Kong Jockey Club leasing the ATC’s slot for an initial two-year period racing.com+9australianturfclub.com.au+9Just Horse Racing+9.
He was firmed into early fixed-odds market at $1.90 and later shortened further to around $1.80—the shortest starting favourite price in the race’s history Racenet+1punters.com.au+1.
David Hayes opted to delay formal slot talks until after Ka Ying Rising wrapped up his Hong Kong campaign, including the Champion’s Sprint Prize, showing restraint and prioritising form over a quick Australia moveracing.com+4Racenet+4blacktyperacing.au+4.
He confirmed the trip to Australia will consist of a single run solely in The Everest, with no plans to head to Melbourne or remain for further races due to logistic and regulatory complications (notably stringent veterinary scanning rules in Victoria) idolhorse.com. The horse is to return immediately to Hong Kong after the race, with no secondary Aussie targets—a FIFO (fly‑in fly‑out) mission to preserve his Hong Kong commitments breedingracing.comracing.com.
By mid‑2025, Ka Ying Rising had amassed a stellar record: 13 wins from 15 starts, 12 in succession, and four Group 1 titles—numbers unmatched by most sprinters worldwide thekingzone.com. His multiple official ratings above 110 at 1,200 m far exceed those posted by top Aussie sprinters—like Private Harry, Briasa, or Joliestar—who generally remain in the 102–106 band racingnsw.com.au+4thekingzone.com+4bets.com.au+4.
Form lines also stack up: Ka Ying Rising defeated Satono Reve by over two lengths in Hong Kong, and Satono Reve later placed close second in the Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot—validating the international quality of Ka Ying Rising’s formRacenet+2thekingzone.com+2thetimes.co.uk+2.
The Everest maintains its place as the world’s richest turf race at $20M. With current odds now at $1.80, Ka Ying Rising is poised to be the shortest-priced favourite ever—reflecting both confidence in his abilities and relative weakness among the Australian sprinting ranks races.com.au+2bets.com.au+2Racenet+2.
His participation brings considerable prestige for the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s global influence—and strategically expands the World Pool betting footprint, as pre-arranged deals between HKJC and ATC involve cross-promotion across Eden and Randwick events, possibly extending to Golden Slipper racing as well Just Horse Racing.
Trainer Hayes and the owners have committed to prioritising Hong Kong racing. In a post‐Everest plan, Ka Ying Rising will resume his Hong Kong season—targeting events like the Hong Kong Sprint (December), with a focus to defend local titles instead of chasing bonus earnings in Australia after The Everest breedingracing.comracing.com.
Bred in NZ, Ka Ying Rising combines Shamexpress speed with Per Incanto stamina tendencies via his dam, Missy Moo—an ideal blend for Hong Kong’s sprint circuit races.com.au+3Wikipedia+3breednet.com.au+3. Under David Hayes, he has matured from a precocious Griffin into a robust, professional competitor. Zac Purton frequently speaks about his composure: “he’s really relaxed going to the gates … a pleasure to do anything with” racing.com.
Hayes has described him as “a more foolproof horse… alright leading, alright with a sit” and “quite special”—wed to stunning raw ability. Comparisons to iconic figures like Usain Bolt or Black Caviar emphasize his explosive speed and dominance in the Hong Kong sprint realm racing.com+1thesun.co.uk+1.
Ka Ying Rising collected a stack of accolades in Hong Kong for the 2024/25 season: Horse of the Year, Champion Sprinter, Champion Four‑Year‑Old, and retained his undefeated record into the Champions Day Showcaseracingnews.hkjc.comWikipedia.
Ka Ying Rising’s entry in the 2025 The Everest promises to turn the spotlight onto international sprint competition. As pointed out by racing analysts, Australian sprinters have generally lacked Group 1 performances at the level required to challenge him—and his elite form could redefine standards for future Everest fields thekingzone.combets.com.au.
Randwick’s high-profile event, backed by cross-promotional efforts between Hong Kong and Australian racing authorities, offers Ka Ying Rising a stage to showcase world-class Hong Kong speed and elevate his global brand Just Horse Racingaustralianturfclub.com.au.
Should Ka Ying Rising win—or even place well—his legacy trajectory mirrors that of global sprint legends like Sprinters Cup winners or international straight‑line speed kings. Even without an Everest win, representation of Hong Kong’s premier thoroughbred in the world’s richest turf event strengthens its status within global bloodstock and racing development frameworks.
