About
Ka Ying Rising is a 5yo bay gelding trained by David Hayes in Hong Kong. He is by the stallion Shamexpress out of the mare Missy Moo. Having secured a Group One victory and accumulated $22,795,024 in earnings, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 14 Dec 2025 at Sha Tin, Zac Purton rode Ka Ying Rising to his biggest triumph, winning the $28,000,000 3yo+ Open Weight‑For‑Age race over Raging Blizzard. Throughout his career he has been a lucrative choice for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 26% return on investment.
