What You Need VS Giga Kick In The McEwen Stakes

Trainer Mick Price has announced that What You Need will be competing against Giga Kick in the upcoming Gr.2 McEwen Stakes. In a recent trial at Cranbourne, What You Need finished in fourth place with jockey Ben Melham leading the way. The trial was won by Giga Kick, with Wee Nessy and Magic Time following closely behind. Despite not securing the top spot in the trial, Price expressed satisfaction with What You Need's performance and is confident that the horse will continue to improve.

McEwen: What You Need’s Path

To further prepare for the McEwen Stakes, What You Need is scheduled to participate in another trial at Cranbourne. Also, discussions are underway on the sidelines regarding What You Need's potential participation in The Everest. Owner Mick Price and his team are currently in talks to secure a slot for the horse in this prestigious race, although nothing has been confirmed yet. The Everest is a highly coveted event in the horse racing world, and if What You Need is able to secure a slot, it would be a significant achievement.

Assuming a slot is secured for The Everest, What You Need's racing trajectory would include the McEwen Stakes, followed by the Gr.2 Premiere Stakes, and ultimately culminate in The Everest. These races would provide What You Need with the opportunity to showcase its talent on some of the biggest stages in Australian horse racing.

The eagerly awaited the McEwen Stakes, promises to be an exciting clash between What You Need and Giga Kick. Both horses have shown great potential in their recent trials, and it will be interesting to see how they perform against each other in a competitive race setting.

As the racing season progresses, all eyes will be on What You Need as it aims to secure a spot in The Everest and make a name for itself in the world of Australian horse racing, while Giga Kick already has a spot and was the 2022 Everest winner.
