Randwick Review: The Everest Reigns Supreme In Sydney

Any doubts that The Everest hadn’t established itself as one of the Premier racing events in Australia if there were any, were silenced at Randwick on Saturday.

The Everest again proved that it has established itself as one of the premier races on the Australian calendar with another magnificent race.

The crowd of 46,221 were at fever pitch before the race singing Sweet Caroline and chanting Nature Strips name.

With 200 metres to go they were getting ready to erupt into a frenzy when Nature Strip glided to the front and had all his immediate on speed rivals beaten.

A second wave of backmarkers were starting to rocket home and with 100 metres to go Nature Strip hit the wall.

Leading the charge of those who were out the back was Victorian three-year-old gelding Giga Kick who took his record to five wins from five starts.

Giga Kick is trained by former jumps jockey Clayton Douglas who is only in his second year of training.

Douglas said he was in a state of disbelief after the win. Giga Kick will return to Melbourne where he will be trying to make it six from six. View PLAYUP Racing Markets Here
