Racing career

edit

Kawi was trained by Allan Sharrock at New Plymouth.[3] He was runner-up behind True Spirit in his first race on 22 November 2013, a maiden three-year-old event over 1200 metres at New Plymouth. A few weeks later, he secured his first victory, in his second start, in a 1400‑metre race for three-year-olds at Trentham.

He won 15 races including 7 Group victories. In July 2018 he was retired due to issues with his joints and fetlocks and wear and tear.[4]
