The world's richest race on turf, the 1200m Group 1 Everest was won in sensational fashion by the NZ bred Ka Ying Rising on Saturday at Randwick.
From the Per Incanto mare Missy Moo, the Hong Kong champion defeated the three-year old filly Tempted, with Per Incanto's son Jimmysstar a courageous third.
Interestingly, Tempted's sire Street Boss, like Per Incanto, is a son of Street Cry.
The LA and Pete and Chrissie Algie bred Jimmysstar lost no admirers with his effort, racing wide without cover for most of the $20 million race. What a day for racing with 60% of racegoers 26 years of age or younger. The future is exciting for the industry.
