Lau Sak Hong-owned crowd favourite Hot King Prawn has officially been retired from racing.
The son of Denman became a cult figure in Hong Kong due to his ability, color, and name, and steps away from racing with HK$37.58 million banked from 12 wins, five seconds and three thirds.
The grey’s finest moment came when he won the Gr.1 Centenary Sprint Cup (2021) under Joao Moreira, while his consistency rewarded him with four Gr.1 placings and victories in the Gr.3 National Day Cup Handicap (2018), Gr.2 Premier Bowl Handicap (2018), Gr.2 Jockey Club Sprint (2018) and another victory in that same race in 2020.
