Racing NSW announced the inaugural edition of The Everest would take place in 2017 as Sydney look to compete for the racing community and punters’ attention with the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival and the event proved a huge success.
The Everest is now Australia’s richest race surpassing the Group 1 $8.41 million Melbourne Cup (3200m) held on the first Tuesday of November at Flemington.
Contested over 1200m The Everest race is a weight-for-age sprint showdown open to local and international connections who “buy” their way into the race paying a $600,000 entry fee to have a runner in The Everest field.
The incredible The Everest prize money on offer is funded from this hefty entry fee as well as other event-generated events.
The Everest now competes with the Melbourne sprint races running around the same time of the season including Moonee Valley’s Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) and serves as a gun lead-up to Flemington’s Group 1 VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) – now known as the VRC Champions Sprint – held on the last day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival in November.
The Everest ran for the first time in 2017 and was won by Redzel who went on to win the VRC Sprint Classic in Melbourne next race.
Redzel successfully defended in title in 2018 to become the first back-to-back The Everest winner in the same way the mighty Archer won the opening two editions of the Melbourne Cup (1861-62).
Redzel attempted a three-peat but only managed to run eighth behind three-year-old Yes Yes Yes in the 2019 The Everest results that saw a new track record set by the young champion.
For the 2019 edition of The Everest the prize money was boosted to $14 million and another prize money increase in 2020 saw the event offer an unprecedented $15 million in stakes. The Everest prize money was further boosted in 2023 to an incredible $20 million.
It is now second in prize money to only the $28m Saudi Cup which is the world’s richest thoroughbred event and runs on a dirt track.
In 2020 jockey Kerrin McEvoy secured his third The Everest success in the race’s four-year history riding the previous season’s sixth place-getter Classique Legend to victory. Classique Legend ($4.20 in 2020) became the first The Everest favourite to salute for the punters.
In 2021 trainer Chris Waller won the race for a second time when the favourite Nature Strip ($3.70) saluted for the punters at his third attempt in the event.
The race is now part of a wider The Everest Carnival that has a host of unique races taking place across Sydney with over $50 million in prize money being awarded.
Nature Strip returned in 2022 for a fourth run and title defence but only managed to finish fourth behind upset winner Giga Kick who became the second three-year-old The Everest winner, the event’s longest-priced champion at $21 and the first undefeated horse to win the event.
The Everest date sees the event run on the same day as the $5 million Caulfield Cup (2400m) in Melbourne.
The Everest Day also features a Special Condition feature race, the $2 million The Kosciuszko open only to NSW country-trained horses. Other key events on the card include the $1 million Silver Eagle (1300m) and the $2 million Group 3 Sydney Stakes (1200m).
In 2024 The Everest Day also features the world’s richest weight-for-age 1600m event with the new look George Main Stakes added to the card in 2023 and run as the Group 1 $5 million King Charles III Stakes.
Previously, each year’s The Everest results also determined the race name for the Winners Stakes, a $3 million feature run at Rosehill on the same day as Melbourne’s VRC Derby.
In 2024 the Winners Stakes has been renamed the Russell Balding Stakes after the former Racing NSW chairman Russell Balding, who was forced to step down from his position in 2023.
The 2024 The Everest winner Bella Nipotina made history as the first mare to win when narrowly denying the 2022 champion Giga Kick in a thrilling eighth edition of the event.
2024 The Everest took place at Randwick on Saturday, October 19, 2024 offering $20 million in prize money and saw the brilliant Ciaron Maher-trained mare Bella Nipotina ($9) dig deep to deny former champion Giga Kick in an incredible performance while her stablemate Growing Empire ran third.

CLICK HERE FOR OUR FULL 2024 THE EVEREST BETTING TIPS
To Win: #10 Traffic Warden ($7 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Trainer James Cummings is confident, and we are too, with this lovely Street Boss colt who can cement his name in The Everest history books as the third three-year-old to climb to the top of the world’s richest turf race.
Drew a treat in gate two which only saw Cummings sing him further praises.
Well-conditioned with plenty of tough 1400m runs including a Group 1 Golden Rose second last time out when narrowly denied by stablemate Broadsiding.
Back to 1200m will suit and he won the Group 2 Run to the Rose in a blistering late burst fresh.
He’s third-up now and has been set specifically for this race. Can win.
The Danger: #1 I Wish I Win ($6.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman’s six-year-old son of Savabeel will don the No. 1 saddlecloth in The Everest field and it would surprise us little if he ended up with the No. 1 spot in the official finishing order.
Third-up and ready to fire with a lovely record at the track and distance, plus the devastatingly close 2nd in 2023 that he will be keen to atone for.
He will relish the sting out of the track getting conditions to suit perfectly.
Going as good as ever, he’s a class horse and a three-time Group 1 champion.
Gets the right gate with room from nine this year for Luke Nolen after barrier one saw him narrowly come undone behind Think About It 12 months ago.
He does face a field full of gun youngsters that have been set for this but he’s the seasoned professional with plenty to prove.
Each Way: #4 Bella Nipotina ($9 at time of publish) – BET NOW
The mares might not have finished better than fourth in an Everest to date, but it is a rock-solid contingent of female gallopers taking on the boys this year including Ciaron Maher’s bonny seven-year-old Bella Nipotina who continues to show a zest for racing (and winning!).
This daughter of Pride Of Dubai is a multiple Group 1 winner coming via back-to-back placings in the Group 3 Concorde and Group 2 Premiere Stakes.
She probably should have won the Group 2 last time out and gets her chance to make it up to her fans now on the big stage.
She’s tough and she’s talented, and any rain around between now and The Everest jump will only boost her chances.
The only con is that outside barrier 12 which does make it a little harder.
Best Roughie: #5 I Am Me ($17 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Bella’s stablemate and one of three in The Everest field for Maher, this rails-drawn mare is chasing a hat-trick.
The consistent I Am Invincible six-year-old is fit and firing on all cylinders ready to get the job done again flying under the radar in the markets despite her outstanding performances this prep.
She is a genuine Randwick specialist with four wins form five starts at the track.
Comes off the Concorde – The Shorts winning double with the latter especially a good guide historically to The Everest results.
She won’t get a better chance than this.
Has winning form over some of the better supported and ready for the 1200m now.
Only concern would be if the track is wet.
2024 The Everest Field
The spring’s The Everest field features the best sprint horses from Australia and abroad competing for the incredible prize money on offer including the millions on offer to The Everest winner.
Connections must pay a whopping $600,000 entry fee to have their horse run in the capacity 12-starter The Everest field, meaning the sprinters on show come from the richest owners and stables able to afford the cost of having a runner.
Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club sell 12 slots in The Everest field each year that can be traded or that the owners of which can enter into a partnership with a non-slot holding connection to make up the final field.
The Everest 2024 race field will be confirmed on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 and published below as soon as available.
The 2024 The Everest Barrier Draw was conducted confidentially on Tuesday morning and released to the public during a Racing NSW event that night following The Everest final acceptances around 8:00pm (AEDT).
The official 2024 The Everest final field is locked in with last year’s runner-up, I Wish I Win, the favourite with Luke Nolen to ride third-up from barrier nine.

1. I WISH I WIN
- Trainers: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman
- Jockey: Luke Nolen
- Barrier: 9
- Slot Holder: Trackside Media
Trackside Media were early to confirm their runner for The Everest 2024, selecting the in-form I Wish I Win trained by the Moody/Coleman partnership. Fresh off his victory in Brisbane’s Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup, this Savabeel gelding boasts a win at The Everest distance (1200m) at Royal Randwick from 2023. After finishing second to Think About It last year, I Wish I Win is back for redemption! He was only a length beaten fresh at Moonee Valley in a tight finish to the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) followed by a good third in the Group 1 Ladbrokes Manikato (1200m) with improvement to come back in Sydney fit now. Luke Nolen continues associations looking to go one better from a favourable barrier nine draw.
2. GIGA KICK
- Trainer: Clayton Douglas
- Jockey: Mark Zhara
- Barrier: 3
- Slot Holder: Pinecliff Racing & ATC
Clatyon Douglas’ five-year-old son of Scissor Kick is out to make history as just the second two-time The Everest champion and the first on non-successive years when the 2022 winner returns for the ATC in 2024. He has posted two Group 1 wins since claiming the event as a three-year-old before a year on the sidelines. Back after 12 months he was eye-catching in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1000m) with plenty of weight. Improvement to come and his nice second-up performance when under a length beaten running fourth in the Group 2 Premiere Stakes was strong. New jockey with Mark Zahra confirmed for the ride getting plenty of favours from barrier 3.
3. PRIVATE EYE
- Trainer: Joseph Pride
- Jockey: Jay Ford
- Barrier: 10
- Slot Holder: Max Whitby, Col Madden and Neil Werrett
Seven-year-old Private Eye is out to make it third time lucky when he races in The Everest again in 2024. Second in 2022 and third last year to stablemate Think About It, this consistent sprinter hasn’t won since last year’s The Shorts victory but has shown enough to suggest he can be competitive again at his pet track. One of the widest drawn in barrier 10.
4. BELLA NIPOTINA
- Trainer: Ciaron Maher
- Jockey: Craig Williams
- Barrier: 12
- Slot Holder: TAB
The TAB have locked in Ciaron Maher’s brilliant mare, Bella Nipotina, to fill their slot in The Everest 2024 field this October. The now seven-year-old daughter of Pride Of Dubai failed to secure a spot in the coveted sprint race last year but will get her chance with the country’s gun sprinters this spring following her eye-catching first-up second when narrowly beaten by I Am Me in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1000m). That was her first start since taking out Brisbane’s Group 1 Tatt’s Tiara to cap off a sensational winter bid in the sunshine state. She ran third in the Concorde last year, was a TJ Smith Stakes runner-up at The Everest track and trip in the autumn and continues to show a zest for racing including here credible third to shock winner Airman in the Group 2 Premiere Stakes on October 6. Suffered a blow drawing the outside barrier (12).
5. I AM ME
- Trainer: Ciaron Maher
- Jockey: Nash Rawiller
- Barrier: 1
- Slot Holder: The Star Sydney & Arrowfield Stud
Flying I Am Invincible mare I Am Me gets the chance to secure her biggest win yet earning her The Everest slot with back-to-back lead-up wins completing the Concorde Stakes – The Shorts double first and second-up. She is prepared by the in-form Ciaron Maher who is enjoying a stellar spring, is a multiple Group 1 placegetter, sprint specialist and has beaten plenty of these fellow The Everest contenders. Can keep going! Reports of a nosebleed from the stable on October 6 so, there’s a slight query there. Nash Rawiller confirmed for the ride. Out to be the second The Everest winner from barrier one after the 2018 success in the second running by Redzel.
6. STEFI MAGNETICA
- Trainer: Bjorn Baker
- Jockey: Zac Lloyd (a)
- Barrier: 6
- Slot Holder: Newgate & GPI Racing
Stefi Magnetica, a talented daughter of All Too Hard, will represent Newgate & GPI Racing in The Everest 2024. Her impressive performance in The Shorts, a race known for producing strong contenders for The Everest, has secured her a place in the prestigious event. Despite finishing second to I Am Me in The Shorts, Stefi Magnetica’s closing speed and ability to compete at the highest level as a Stradbroke winner over Bella Nipotina in Brisbane during the winter make her a promising The Everest candidate. With her recent form and the support of a top-class training team, Stefi Magnetica has a strong chance of making a significant impact in the world’s richest turf race. Gets plenty of options from barrier six for flying apprentice Zac Lloyd.
7. SUNSHINE IN PARIS
- Trainers: Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald
- Jockey: Tommy Berry
- Barrier: 8
- Slot Holder: Fairway Thoroughbreds
Five-year-old Invader mare Sunshine In Paris gets her shot at The Everest for slot holders Fairway Thoroughbreds. The lightly raced sprinter has won five of her 10 starts after a successful first-up title defence in the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes. Barrier eight for the Group 1 winner who rates highly.
8. JOLIESTAR
- Trainer: Chris Waller
- Jockey: James McDonald
- Barrier: 4
- Slot Holder: Chris Waller Racing
Chris Waller, a two-time The Everest winner, has selected the talented mare Joliestar as his representative in the 2024 edition of the prestigious race. This four-year-old daughter of Zoustar has demonstrated exceptional ability, winning the Thousand Guineas and beating male rivals in the Arrowfield 3YO Stakes last time in. Despite a challenging weight in her recent races, Joliestar’s consistent form and ability to excel at the distance make her a strong contender for The Everest. With Waller’s training expertise and her proven track record, Joliestar has a great chance of securing a victory in this highly anticipated event at big odds. Her latest run was a third in the Group 2 Sheraco Stakes behind fellow The Everest hopeful Sunshine In Paris so, improvement is needed. James McDonald booked for ride chasing his second success from a brilliant gate four draw that produced the inaugural champion Redzel.
9. GROWING EMPIRE
- Trainer: Ciaron Maher
- Jockey: Kerrin McEvoy
- Barrier: 7
- Slot Holder: Yulong Investments
Ciaron Maher’s exciting young sprinter Growing Empire gets a shot to return to winning form after his eye-catching second up notably in grade for the Group 1 Manikato Stakes. Three-time The Everest winning jockey Kerrin McEvoy has been booked for the ride on the promising son of Zoustar who is an early favourite and firming after a nice barrier seven draw.
10. TRAFFIC WARDEN
- Trainer: James Cummings
- Jockey: Jamie Kah
- Barrier: 2
- Slot Holder: Godolphin
Jamie Kah has been locked in to ride three-year-old Traffic Warden in this year’s The Everest field with Godolphin and trainer James Cummings confirming the multiple Group 2 winning colt will line-up chasing victory on the back of a close Group 1 Golden Rose second over 1400m. Will be well conditioned now and running well from barrier two with Jamie Kah aboard.
11. STORM BOY
- Trainers: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
- Jockey: Brenton Avdulla
- Barrier: 5
- Slot Holder: Coolmore
The summer’s Magic Millions Classic winning Justify colt, an expensive buy for Coolmore, will look to return to his best with connections opting to drop him back to 1200m for a shot at the lucrative The Everest over a potential stallion-making run over the 1600m in the Caulfield Guineas. Latest produced a fourth under a length off Broadsiding in the Group 1 Golden Rose over 1400m. Expect the longer turnaround and 1200m will see him finish close again taking on the older sprinters. Brenton Avdulla flies in for the ride. Out to be the third The Everest winner in as many years from barrier five.
12. LADY OF CAMELOT
- Trainers: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
- Jockey: Rachel King
- Barrier: 11
- Slot Holder: Go Bloodstock & James Harron Bloodstock
Golden Slipper winning filly Lady Of Camelot, a first-up third placegetter in the Group 1 Moir Stakes at The Valley, will run in the 2024 The Everest for two-time winning slot holder James Harron. No filly has won the race to date, and she’ll need to improve on a somewhat flat run when unplaced in the Group 2 The Shorts to be the first. Rachel King has been locked in for the ride from the second outside alley.
