The G1 FWD Queen Elizabeth II Cup at the Sha Tin Racecourse was overshadowed by the tragic death of Liberty Island, a celebrated champion filly. Despite the competitive spirit of the race, the mood was somber following her severe leg injury during a race, which led to her being euthanized. Jockey Yuga Kawada's quick response was not enough to save her. Liberty Island's legacy included a remarkable victory in the Japanese Fillies' Triple Crown, further deepening the sense of loss felt by fans and the racing community alike.
"The highs and lows of this game. An unreal performance by the great Ka Ying Rising, but the whole day darkened by the loss of Liberty Island."
"Liberty Island was one of Japan's most celebrated racehorses lately. In 2023, she pulled off an amazing feat by winning the Japanese Fillies' Triple Crown."
