Hay List next international campaigner

Wed 8 Sep

Boom sprinter Hay List could be the next Australian star on the international stage with Hong Kong and Royal Ascot on the radar following his spring engagements in Melbourne.

Hay List resumes in Saturday's Group Three McEwen Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley following his sensational five-length victory in the Group Three Healy Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm in June.

The Healy Stakes was the former Perth sprinter's ninth win from 11 starts.

Trainer John McNair's star has already been sounded out as a possible invitee for the Group One Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) at Sha Tin in December but no decision will be made until after the five-year-old completes a four-race assignment in Melbourne.

"I've had him inoculated already just in case he's invited to go to Hong Kong," McNair said.

"The problem about going to Hong Kong is the quarantine restrictions coming back to Australia'' - aap
