Fresh from his record-breaking 18th straight win in last Sunday’s Group One Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1,400m), Ka Ying Rising will have two more local starts before Hayes turns his attention to defending his crown in the A$20 million (US$14.3 million) The Everest at Randwick in... https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3344709/david-hayes-unfazed-talk-tentyris-threatening-champion-ka-ying-rising-everest?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3344709/david-hayes-unfazed-talk-tentyris-threatening-champion-ka-ying-rising-everest?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:30:08 +0000 Sam Agars Sam Agars The Group One Longines Hong Kong Cup (2,000m) has been hit by another withdrawal, with trainer David Eustace confirming Massive Sovereign will not run in Sunday’s HK$40 million contest after suffering a leg injury. After Japanese raider Lord Del Rey came out of the race with lameness on Tuesday, the scratching of last year’s Hong Kong Derby winner reduces the field for the city’s richest race to just seven runners. The last time the Cup was contested by such a small field was way back in 2007,... https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3335826/hong-kong-cup-poised-smallest-field-2007-after-massive-out?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3335826/hong-kong-cup-poised-smallest-field-2007-after-massive-out?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 10 Dec 2025 02:19:34 +0000 Owen Goulding Owen Goulding Australian speedster Asfoora returned to her brilliant best to win a thrilling Group One Nunthorpe Stakes (1,000m) at York on Friday. The 17-runner dash was wide open on paper, but Henry Dwyer’s mare turned the race into a procession under Oisin Murphy to win her second top-level race in Britain. Asfoora always travelled ominously well just behind the leaders and, when others were rowing away, Murphy was just gently coaxing his mount along and the writing was quickly on the wall. She took up the... https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3322917/australian-speedball-asfoora-beats-home-team-win-red-hot-nunthorpe-york?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3322917/australian-speedball-asfoora-beats-home-team-win-red-hot-nunthorpe-york?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 23 Aug 2025 08:37:47 +0000 Owen Goulding Owen Goulding Ombudsman emphatically turned the tables on Delacroix to win a fascinating Group One International Stakes (2,051m) at York on day one of their Ebor Festival. The John and Thady Gosden-trained star was pipped by Delacroix in a tactical Group One Eclipse Stakes (2,000m) at Sandown last month, but the form was reversed in no uncertain terms. Godolphin ensured the race would be run at a true gallop by introducing Birr Castle as a pacemaker, with Rab Havlin sending him on by over 20 lengths and... https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3322658/ombudsman-wins-rematch-delacroix-win-thrilling-international-stakes-york?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3322658/ombudsman-wins-rematch-delacroix-win-thrilling-international-stakes-york?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 21 Aug 2025 09:02:15 +0000 Owen Goulding Owen Goulding Lazzat will take the next step in cementing himself as the best European sprinter when he goes for back to back wins in the Group One Prix Maurice de Gheest (1,300m) at Deauville on Sunday. The Jerome Reynier-trained speedster is a perfect three from three at the sprint trips and bagged his second top-level success when making all the running in the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (1,200m) at Royal Ascot. He gave his connections a scare post race, however, unshipping his jockey James... https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3321322/hong-kong-winners-lazzat-and-rebels-romance-star-acts-sundays-simulcast-cards?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/racing/article/3321322/hong-kong-winners-lazzat-and-rebels-romance-star-acts-sundays-simulcast-cards?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 09 Aug 2025 11:26:18 +0000 Owen Goulding Owen Goulding Ombudsman headlines a stellar cast of world-class runners in the Group One Eclipse Stakes (1,990m) at Sandown on Saturday.
