It’s the richest race on turf in the world, and Sydney has turned on a glorious day for The Everest. Follow all the action live from Royal Randwick.
When the horses thundered past the finishing post in last year’s The Everest in front of a Royal Randwick moshpit belting out Sweet Caroline, a thought popped into the head of one trainer: how do we win it next year?Peter Snowden’s horse, Mazu, had just run third in the world’s richest race on turf, banking $1.4 million for his trouble. But there was a kicker: he was the only horse guaranteed a start in the 2023 race the moment all his rivals went back to the stalls after the 2022 event.
For the last year, The Everest slotholders, each of whom fork out $700,000 to nominate a horse for the race, have been wheeling and dealing with owners of the best sprinting horses to lock in a runner for the $20 million sprint. Mazu’s connections have had no such trouble under a two-year deal with slotholder Arrowfield Stud and The Star, the first of its kind in The Everest.“The luxury of that is you don’t have to have your horse wound up too early,” Snowden says.
