Ka Ying Rising

They'll have the favourite in – well, they'll have one of the favourites in the Everest competition.

Hopefully, Guesthouse trying to take on Kaying Rising.

And, of course, we'll have Jack Turnbull there.

It'll be interesting because they'll have a host of horses going around the Caulfield Cup.

you mentioned a few humans that have influenced you um going back to the american days i always remember td houghton at great lakes downs was it or something like that and i remember mark johnson with a good line about him once um td at gld was it anyway what about the the equines though that's what we that's partly why we're here primarily why we're here in fact any of two or three horses that actually got the cogs turning to such an extent that you'd describe them as massively influential.

What about Ka Ying Rising, for instance, at the minute?

Yeah, he's good to watch, isn't he? And he is amazing thoroughbred.

And I suppose with Ka Ying Rising, we have the idea of the interface between subjectivity and people like Willie Carson saying that Dejo is better than Ka Ying Rising.

And the actual kind of the science of it, which is the difficulty level in doing what that horse is doing.

I mean, how anybody could not think this horse is one of the greatest horses of all time.

Autumn Glow, no doubt, will be heading there.

But then you think of the likes of the Everest, the Everest with the likes of Ka-Ying Rising coming back.

Give up, shall we?

Jeez.

Was pretty good.

And then obviously we see Ka Ying Rising take the absolute piss over in Hong Kong.

That was insane.

Don't know if anyone's even going to come within an inch of Ka Ying Rising come Everest time.

But we've got an exciting show.

The boys are everywhere.

I'll be headed there tomorrow.

And Hong Kong is back on the heels of Ka Ying Rising.

J.A. McGrath has his preview of Happy Valley and the latest from Hong Kong.

But first, it was announced yesterday, uh, in the Racing Post, though rumors had been swirling for some time on social media, that Emmet Mullins would indeed be the new incumbent of Coolcullen, the wonderful training base in Ireland that has been established over decades by Jim Bolger, and from where he has had conspicuous classic success.

And what do you need to see from him in a Manicato to make up your mind as to where you go? Is the dream still to get to another Everest as well?

Well, you know, it was obviously, it's interesting when Kaying Rising's running 106, I must say.

But look, yeah, we'll just sort of see how he goes in the Manicato.

We've all got all those options.

So there's, yeah, for a sprinter like him, there is quite a few options.

And, yeah, it'll be good to hopefully sort of we can get him to bounce back second up and we can have this discussion after the Manicato anyway.

Is this year... a little different than previous ones with the Everest when you've got a horse like Kaying Rising who in all reality if he turns up in some semblance of form is unbeatable does it then make you start to think about well it may be better even though there is big prize money to run top three to to look for more um winnable races is that what the thought process is

Yeah, potentially, yeah, for sure.

Well written, extending a winning sequence.

to seven in a group one there she's put herself on target for races like the Epsom and the Golden Eagle at Randwick and when she shows the whole of the world how good she is then I think she'll get a bit more respect and well similar comments apply don't they to the star performer of the weekend no doubt about it 21 straight For Ka Ying Rising, well, he might have been bred in New Zealand, but it's Hong Kong where he's shone.

And he's put himself on target for a second consecutive Everest in a few weeks' time with an imperious track record-breaking performance.

1.06.11, the fastest six furlongs ever run from a standing start anywhere in the world in history.

Then we have Hamish, two enables, going back to Jack Hobbs, and Prince Bishop twice, a Dubai World Cup winner in 2014 and 2015.

But if we look, for example, at the St. Simon Stakes, a race that... commemorates a great horse one of the very few horses that um fred archer was sacked from riding we're looking at two hamishes two max vegas an illa raba you can glenn a mirando a young rascal dead heating it's a significantly easier group three to win it's normally on rain soften ground at newbury at the end of october and that's where i would be inclined to go with Constitution Hill next but I'd certainly let him keep running if he enjoys it and everyone likes watching him run where's the harm even if he does end up in a 0-75.

Well, one horse who's unlikely to end up in a 0-75 is Ka Ying Rising.

21 straight victories, 1.06.11, the fastest time for a standing start over six furlongs or 1,200 metres in global racing history.
