SARGA.CO – The name Ka Ying Rising now stands alone at the very top of the global sprinting scene. Under the bright lights of Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong, the world’s finest sprinter once again showed why he is said to be “in a league of his own.” His latest triumph in the Longines Hong Kong Sprint was not merely another trophy—it was a powerful affirmation of his status as the ruler of world sprint racing.
In the prestigious Group 1 Hong Kong International Sprint (1,200 meters), worth £2.8 million (around Rp56 billion), Ka Ying Rising dominated from the moment the gates opened. The Hong Kong star led from start to finish, leaving his international rivals with little chance to mount a serious challenge. The victory marked his 16th consecutive win, an extraordinary record at the highest level of global horse racing.
A year earlier, this very race had delivered Ka Ying Rising’s first Group 1 victory. Since then, his performances have only continued to rise. He has not merely remained consistent—he has become ever more mature and lethal. Even before the race began, the public and betting markets had virtually predicted the outcome. Of the 13 runners, the second favorite was sent off at long odds, a clear indication of Ka Ying Rising’s overwhelming dominance in the eyes of the racing world.
The supremacy of this five-year-old sprinter is nothing new. Last October, he conquered The Everest, Australia’s most prestigious sprint race with a prize of £10 million (around Rp200 billion), defeating the very best sprinters the country had to offer. That victory cemented his reputation as a transcontinental sprint phenomenon who simply cannot be stopped.
With his Hong Kong Sprint triumph, Ka Ying Rising’s career earnings have now surpassed £13 million (approximately Rp260 billion). Such staggering figures reflect not only his quality and consistency, but also his immense appeal as an icon of modern horse racing.
On the Sha Tin track, Ka Ying Rising was close to flawless. Taking the initiative early, he opened up a decisive gap as soon as he entered the home straight. With no real pressure in the closing stages, jockey Zac Purton was even able to ease him down near the finish. The winning margin—almost four lengths—was one rarely seen at elite level.
Behind this remarkable performance, trainer David Hayes revealed that the signs of greatness had already been evident in the week leading up to the race. The horse showed ideal physical condition and mental sharpness, as if fully prepared to meet the immense expectations placed upon him. On race day, he delivered on every one of them.
Ka Ying Rising is now more than just a champion—he is a symbol of world sprint supremacy. In an era of ever-intensifying global competition, he stands as the gold standard, a horse whose rivals no longer race to beat him, but merely to battle for the places behind him.
