Beauty Generation
Beauty Generation, one of the greatest champions in the history of Hong Kong horse racing, has retired.
Twice crowned Hong Kong s Horse of the Year, the New Zealand-bred gelding was also named Champion Miler a record three times. Beauty Generation ends his career with 18 Hong Kong wins from 34 starts and prize-money earnings of HK$106,233,750 (US$13.7 million), making him the highest-ever earner in Hong Kong history.
Trained by John Moore for each of his 18 wins (in Hong Kong) – a record he shares with Silent Witness and Super Win – the brilliant son of Road To Rock achieved eight Group 1 triumphs, as well as five Group 2 victories and three Group 3s.

Christophe Soumillon has 110 Hong Kong wins.
Sidelined from two of the most prestigious meetings in the world because of COVID-19, Belgian ace Christophe Soumillon is anxious to make up for lost opportunities – and time – when he resumes with a full book of rides at Sha Tin on Sunday, Dec. 20.
Diagnosed with COVID-19 shortly before the Breeders Cup meeting at Keeneland on Nov. 7, the 10-time French champion surrendered a winning ride on Tarnawa in the US$4 million Breeders Cup Turf.
Salting the wound, Soumillon also watched Order Of Australia – another confirmed mount – post an upset victory in the US$2 million Breeders Cup Mile.
