PRIDE’S SPECIAL EVEREST

JOE Pride’s ability to train a sprinter is unmatched in Australian racing and his effort to train first and third in The Everest was an exemplary effort.

The amazing effort to get Think About It to win his eleventh race from 12 starts when he was successful in The Everest has been outstanding and his third placegetter Private Eye again proved he’s one of Australia’s best sprinters.

Just who Australia’s best sprinter is we will never know as Think About It will chase expensive bonuses in Sydney and is unlikely to head to Melbourne to clash with Imperatriz.

Pride said if it wasn’t for the riches on offer he would have trained Think About It for longer races which he still believes he would be better suited at.

Again, it was a spectacular The Everest with all the good horses running to their best.

46,000 at a meeting at Randwick in October is proof that Racing NSW supremo Peter V’Landys has established a major event in spring for horse-racing.

Kudos to him for finding that audience.
