Hey Doc (foaled 7 September 2013) is a retired Australian bred thoroughbred racehorse that won four Group 1 races, most notably the Manikato Stakes on two occasions.

Background

Hey Doc was sold at the Inglis Victorian yearling sales for the amount of A$85,000.[3]

Racing career

Hey Doc was successful in his racing debut, winning a two-year-old race at Morphettville Racecourse.

As a three-year-old, Hey Doc raced on ten occasions, recording 5 wins, culminating in his first Group 1 race the Australian Guineas.[4]

In his next preparation, Hey Doc won his second Group 1 race when successful in the Manikato Stakes at the odds of 20/1.[5]

After an unsuccessful campaign following this victory, Hey Doc was sidelined from racing for over 12 months due to an operation to remove bone chips from a joint.

He returned to racing with success at his second run, winning his third Group 1 the Winterbottom Stakes at the odds of 12/1.[6]

As a seven-year-old, Hey Doc won his second Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley defeating Trekking by three quarters of a length and setting a new track record time of 1:08.76 for the 1,200 metre event.[7]

In the 2020 World's Best Racehorse Rankings, Hey Doc was rated on 118, making him the equal 80th best racehorse in the world.[8]

In 2021 it was announced that Hey Doc would be retired from racing.[9]
