Ciaron Maher has strengthened his hand on the A$5m Caulfield Cup with favourite Smokin' Romans to be joined by Gold Trip in Saturday's spring major. The pair will gallop at Caulfield on Tuesday, their final hitout before the 2400m Group One. Smokin' Romans had been aimed at the Melbourne Cup initially, but winning the Gr.3 Foundation Cup, a Caulfield qualifier, prompted a minor change of plans. ...

The Thousand Guineas remains unconquered since the race was first held in 1946 for New Zealand stables even though they have routinely won Australia’s premier three-year-old events. She’s Licketysplit’s ...

To date, North Star Lass has competed in six races, all of which took place on the impacted surface. She debuted in August on a Soft 5 track at Randwick and finished ...

For Michael Hawkes, The Everest has been a race full of “what-if” moments. He, along with legendary father John and brother Wayne, prepared the great Chautauqua for the first Everest, where the three-time TJ Smith winner finished fourth in a leader-dominated race. But it’s last year that hurts the most. In the same silks, Masked Crusader delivered the same late-charging style before falling a ...
Nature Strip's only real competition in the $15 million The TAB Everest is Eduardo, an old foe he's faced before. Nature Strip has a solid advantage over Eduardo in their previous 11 meetings. Others who have challenged Nature Strip for the Everest have found it futile to try and defeat the super sprinter. Nature Strip has a perfect record against Masked Crusader, going 6-0, a perfect record ...
When A$15 million in prize money is at stake, every fraction of a second counts, and the horses and jockeys must leave no stone unturned. In last year's race, the world's best sprinter, Nature Strip, won by a slide-ahead margin after taking out the A$15 million Everest. He did so by nipping ahead of a fast-closing Masked Crusader and Eduardo. Whoever wins Saturday's The Everest at Royal Randwick ...

Despite having high-profile stablemates like Paulele and veteran racehorse Kementari, Ingratiating was the unexpected choice for the Godolphin slot. Cox, however, claimed that Godolphin was ...
What will it take for Eduardo to beat Nature Strip in Saturday’s $15m TAB Everest (1200m) at Royal Randwick? It’s a question trainer Joe Pride has spent plenty of time pondering and he’s come to the conclusion that Eduardo has beaten the champ before, so he knows it can be done, but to do it over 1200m in an Everest it’ll need a “tactically perfect” ride from Nash Rawiller. “Statistically it ...
The $15 million Everest has taken over as one of the biggest race days on the Australian calendar, but one crucial factor behind the history of this race is that Victorian breeding is prominent each and every year. The inaugural running in 2017 saw Redzel mark his position as one of the greatest sprinters in the land, subsequent to winning his last four races including the Group 1 Doomben ...
