Rich Tapestry (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}–Genuine Charm {Ire}, by Sadler's Wells), a fixture of the global sprinting scene for the last five years, has been retired from racing. The 8-year-old Hong Kong-based gelding, was bred in Ireland by Moyglare Stud and began his racing career with Dermot Weld, breaking his maiden as a 2-year-old at Dundalk in 2010 before being sold to continue his racing career in Hong Kong where he was trained by C.W. Chang. He won a listed race at Sha Tin in 2013, but it was outside of Hong Kong that he posted his greatest achievements. Rich Tapestry became the first Hong Kong horse to win a Group 1 in America when he landed the G1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship in 2014. He was also successful twice at the Dubai Carnival, taking a Group 3 sprint at Meydan in 2014 and following up earlier this year when winning the G3 Al Shindagha Sprint in February under Gerald Mosse.
