'''Hey Doc''' (foaled 7 September 2013) is a retired [Australia](/source/Australia)n bred thoroughbred racehorse that won four [Group 1](/source/Group_races) races, most notably the [Manikato Stakes](/source/Manikato_Stakes) on two occasions.

==Background==
Hey Doc was sold at the [Inglis](/source/William_Inglis_and_Sons) Victorian yearling sales for the amount of [A$](/source/A%24)85,000.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://inglis.com.au/news/item/g1-winterbottom-stakes-win-a-fairytale-result-for-new-training-partnership|title=G1 Winterbottom Stakes win a fairytale result for new training partnership|publisher=inglis.com.au|accessdate=1 December 2019}}</ref>

==Racing career==
Hey Doc was successful in his racing debut, winning a two-year-old race at [Morphettville Racecourse](/source/Morphettville_Racecourse).

As a three-year-old, Hey Doc raced on ten occasions, recording 5 wins, culminating in his first [Group 1](/source/Group_races) race the [Australian Guineas](/source/Australian_Guineas).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.justhorseracing.com.au/news/australian-racing/hey-doc-gets-mcevoy-australian-guineas-win/372727/amp|title=Hey Doc gets McEvoy Australian guineas win|date=4 March 2017 |publisher =justhorseracing.com.au|accessdate=5 December 2019}}</ref>

In his next preparation, Hey Doc won his second Group 1 race when successful in the [Manikato Stakes](/source/Manikato_Stakes) at the odds of 20/1.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Sheehan|first1=Luke|url=https://www.thevalley.com.au/news/2017-10-27/doc-wins-drama-filled-manikato|title=Doc wins drama filled Manikato|work=The Valley|publisher=thevalley.com.au|accessdate=5 December 2019|archive-date=2019-12-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191204233538/https://www.thevalley.com.au/news/2017-10-27/doc-wins-drama-filled-manikato|url-status=dead}}</ref>

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](/source/Winterbottom_Stakes) at the odds of 12/1.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.punters.com.au/amp/news/hey-doc-wins-the-g1-winterbottom-stakes_186146/|title=Hey Doc dominant in G1 Winterbottom Stakes|publisher=punters.com.au|accessdate=5 December 2019}}</ref>

As a seven-year-old, Hey Doc won his second Manikato Stakes at [Moonee Valley](/source/Moonee_Valley_Racecourse) defeating [Trekking](/source/Trekking_(horse)) by three quarters of a length and setting a new track record time of 1:08.76 for the 1,200 metre event.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.punters.com.au/amp/news/hey-doc-too-tough-in-g1-manikato-_194012/ |title=Hey Doc too tough in G1 Manikato |publisher=punters.com.au |accessdate=23 October 2020}}</ref>
