It\u2019s official. Hong Kong superstar Ka Ying Rising is the world\u2019s best sprinter after taking out the $20m Everest at Randwick Racecourse. <\/p>\n

The red-hot favourite, who improved his career record to 15 wins from 17 starts with the Everest win, held off three-year-old filly Tempted to win the richest race in in the world on turf. <\/p>\n

Trainer David Hayes admitted after the win that he was confident he had the winning horse, especially after seeing the position his horse settled in the 1200m feature. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they hadn\u2019t used over him the straight I thought they would have to be good to pass him. What a run,\u201d Hayes said on Channel 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had to run below form not to win today. I didn\u2019t say that, I couldn\u2019t be cocky but I would have been disappointed if he didn\u2019t win he saddled up calm.\u201d<\/p>\n

His jockey Zac Purton says he was worried by a trial the horse had 10 days before the main event, but ultimately thought cream would rise to the top.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we have seen him at his best today but when he\u2019s not at his best he is still good enough,\u201d Purton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me a little bit emotional. You appreciate it more now because you know it is almost over.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am just so lucky. I have been really lucky to have this horse come along now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ka Ying Rising started rock bottom odds on the tote, winning as a $1.45 favourite. <\/p>\n
