Randwick Racing Tips: Saturday 17 October Everest Day Best Bets
Ka Ying Rising is our pick in The Everest and Autumn Glow looks the standout in the King Charles III, across a ten-race Randwick card on a wet track.
The Everest is a 1200m sprint run at Royal Randwick in October and is the richest race on turf in the world. Rather than a traditional nomination, its runners are decided by a slot system, with twelve slot-holders each choosing a horse to represent them.
About the The Everest
The Everest showcases the best sprinters in Australia over the straight-course 1200m. Because it is a slot race, connections and slot-holders negotiate to secure the fastest horses, producing a deep, high-quality field almost every year. Speed, a clean run and the right barrier are everything over the trip.
History & significance
Launched in 2017 by the Australian Turf Club, The Everest quickly became one of the most valuable and talked-about races in world sport, helping cement Sydney's spring as a sprinting showcase.
