Ka Ying Rising 1:06.11 and the Everest Countdown with Shane Dye

Ka Ying Rising ran 1:06.11 at Sha Tin on Sunday and was rated 145 on Monday — the highest mark in Hong Kong history. Shane Dye and David Morgan on what it means for The Everest.On the opening day of the Hong Kong season, Zac Purton finally cut the champion loose — seven and three-quarter lengths, 135lb on his back, and 1.39 seconds faster than Sacred Kingdom ever went at Sha Tin. The Jockey Club responded by rating him 145, the highest mark in the history of Hong Kong racing.Hall of Famer and Idol Horse columnist Shane Dye gives his instant reaction: why the hard first-up run cuts both ways, why he called this horse better than Black Caviar years before anyone agreed, why Australia has finally stopped arguing, and the one thing he needs to see in the Randwick barrier trial before The Everest.Then Idol Horse chief journalist David Morgan joins Michael Cox on the fallout from the weekend: what the world handicappers do on Thursday, Fast Network's throat trouble in the Centaur Stakes, Satono Reve's retirement and where he sits among Japan's great sprinters, and whether we already saw the Arc winner at Longchamp.Read Shane Dye's Idol Thoughts column every week, and David Morgan's coverage of everything in this episode, at idolhorse.com.This episode is brought to you by the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, 14–26 September.
