It’s Episode 7 of Season 2 of The Hong Kong Racing Show, and it’s a special Everest edition as we count down the hours to the world’s richest turf race — The Everest at Royal Randwick.

All eyes are on Ka Ying Rising, Hong Kong’s sprinting superstar and the world’s top-rated racehorse, as he prepares to take on Australia’s best.

This week, Off To The Races Media’s Andrew Brown and co-host Alex Evers are joined by two incredible guests:

 Darren Flindell — Sydney’s lead race caller and former Hong Kong legend, who sets the scene for The Everest, shares his selections, and reflects on a few unforgettable Hong Kong memories.

 Sam Nati — The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Head of Commingling, who gives us the inside scoop on just how massive The Everest could be from a World Pool perspective, and whether a new wagering record is on the cards.

We also cover the latest Hong Kong racing news, including Romantic Warrior’s barrier trial at Sha Tin and a preview of the Group 2 Sha Tin Trophy, featuring My Wish, Voyage Bubble, and Galaxy Patch.

Produced by Off To The Races Media for the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
