After his Gr.1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize (1200m) triumph at Sha Tin on Sunday, seven-year-old triple Group One winner Mr Stunning (Exceed and Excel) has been retired.
Trainer Frankie Lor confirmed the news to the South China Morning Post, with the venerable sprinter set to live out his days in luxury.
“The horse will retire and then the owner will send the horse back to Australia to enjoy his life,” Lor said.
“He’ll go to Living Legends – we’re just waiting for a flight to Australia.
“Sunday was his last race so we are very happy he could win and retire on top.”
Mr Stunning was purchased at the 2014 New Zealand Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale by Willie Leung’s Magus Equine for $250,000 from the draft of Mark and Shelley Treweek’s Lyndhurst Farm.
He retires a winner of 12 starts, six at Group level, and 11 placings from 30 starts, having earned a total of HK$60,843,100 in prizemoney.
