Ka Ying Rising makes Hong Kong racing history with 18th win

The world's best sprinter made history as he obliterated the 1,400m (seven furlong) track record in the Group One Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup at Sha Tin by more than half a second. "He's the horse of a lifetime," said Purton after coming home a scarcely believable three-and-a-half lengths clear of Helios Express and fellow group One winner Lucky Sweynesse. "I just pinch myself every time I ride him. He's in a league of his own," jockey Purton said after coming home in a record time of 1min 19.36sec.
