Saturday’s $1m Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand Oaks (2400m) at Ellerslie crowned Ohope Wins (NZ) (Ocean Park) as a spectacular winner of the 2025-26 NZB Filly of the Year Series.
It’s always special when Kiwi bred sprinter Ka Ying Rising steps out at Sha Tin, but on Sunday it was even more so with the world’s fastest horse breaking the track record for 1400m as he powered to a record 18th consecutive win in the Group I Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup.
