The Everest is one of the youngest horse races in Australia and also the richest turf race in the world with an unprecedented total of $20 million in prize money as of 2023, up from the original $10 million on offer in the inaugural edition.

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.

It was run for the first time in 2017 on Saturday October 14 at Royal Randwick Racecourse – won by Redzel who successfully defended his title in 2018 – and the event now competes for attention with the Melbourne horse races around this time.

A weight-for-age sprint contested over 1200m, The Everest is the jewel of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival crown and is a Restricted race that does not hold black-type status. The $20 million prize pool sees it surpass the iconic Melbourne Cup as the richest Australian horse race.

The Everest run at Royal Randwick is worth a staggering $20 million in prize money in 2023.

The Everest is unlike any other race contested down under and entry into The Everest field comes at a colossal cost of $600,000 to connections. Only the richest racing horse owners are able to buy their way into the event and The Everest field has a capacity of 12 starters.

Open to both Australian-trained and international horses The Everest is fast becoming one of the most recognised and revered racing events held anywhere in the world.

During the spring racing season in Australia lead-up races into The Everest include Randwick’s Group 2 The Shorts (1100m) in September and the weight-for-age Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m) at the same track. In 2017 the inaugural The Everest winner Redzel backed-up from a victory in The Shorts. Twelve months later Redzel improved on a lead-up fifth in the Premier Stakes to become a dual The Everest champion.

The Everest history was made in 2019 when the Chris Waller-trained three-year-old Yes Yes Yes beat the older horses in a new track record time.

In 2020 The Everest winner Classique Legend improved on his sixth in the previous year’s edition to become the first favourite to win at $4.20 handing jockey Kerrin McEvoy his incredible third victory in four years.

In 2021 Chris Waller won his second The Everest when Nature Strip ($3.70) saluted for the punters at his third attempt in the event.

The 2022 The Everest result saw Giga Kick become the second three-year-old to win, the first undefeated horse to claim the race and the longest-priced winner at $21.

The 2023 The Everest winner was the Joe Pride-trained Think About It who saluted as the $4.40 favourite for trainer Joe Pride when defeating I Wish I Win (2nd) and Pride’s other runner Private Eye (3rd) who had run second the previous year.

After contesting The Everest race horses may continue onto the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival for Group 1 sprint targets including the Manikato Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley and the VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) – now known as the VRC Darley Champions Sprint – run down the famous Flemington straight on the first Saturday of November during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Redzel (2017) became the first sprinter to do The Everest – VRC Sprint Classic interstate spring sprint double. In 2019, star short distance specialist Nature Strip improved on a lead-up fourth in The Everest results to win the VRC Sprint Classic.

Each Sydney Spring Racing Carnival Racing NSW previously renamed the $3 million Winners Stakes (1300m), held at Rosehill Gardens on The Golden Eagle Day in early November, in honour of The Everest winner. For the inaugural Winners Stakes race in 2019 the event was known as The Redzel Stakes. However, in 2024 the Winners Stakes was renamed in honour of former Racing NSW chairman Russell Balding and will run as the Russell Balding Stakes.

The Everest Day also now features the renamed Group 1 $5 million King Charles III Stakes (1600m) – formerly the George Main Stakes – moved to the card ahead of the 2023 edition.

The $2 million Special Condition race The Kosciuszko (1200m) for NSW Country Trained Horses only also runs on The Everest Day.

Other features at the meeting include the lucrative Group 3 $2 million Sydney Stakes (1200m) for horses that failed to gain a slot in The Everest field, the $1 million Silver Eagle (1300m) for Golden Eagle-bound four-year-olds, the Group 3 Angst Stakes (1600m), and the Big Dance Wild Card.

With The Everest event boosting the popularity of slot-racing in Australia, the latest to be added to the calendar was the $4 million The Quokka (1200m) in WA running at Perth’s Ascot Racecourse for the first time in April of 2023 and won by Overpass.

The next edition of The Everest runs on Saturday, October 19, 2024 offering a staggering $20 million in prize money.

The Everest Betting

The Everest betting markets are some most interesting of each spring racing season and odds on the world’s richest turf race are dominated by the star sprinters getting around at that time.

Some horses from international stables in The Everest betting markets may be unfamiliar to punters down under so doing the form on the race will be more crucial than ever.

A key early lead-up race for contenders that impacts The Everest odds is the Group 2 The Shorts (1100m) held at Randwick in mid-September, which produced the very first The Everest winner Redzel (1st in 2017).

Horses that dominated the autumn carnival sprint races including the TJ Smith Stakes also feature highly in The Everest race odds in the spring. In 2020 Classique Legend completed The Shorts – The Everest double with a Group 2 Premiere Stakes second between the two wins, while in 2021 Nature Strip improved on a lead-up The Shorts second to win The Everest and that year’s The Shorts winner Eduardo ran third in The Everest trifecta.

In 2023 The Shorts winner Private Eye ran third in The Everest results behind his stablemate Think About It having run second the year before to Giga Kick.

Held even earlier in the season, the Group 3 The Heath 1100 Stakes at Caulfield in August makes a good early The Everest guide and the results of that short-distance Melbourne race can affect markets on the world’s richest turf race. 2021 The Heath winner Masked Crusader went on to run a narrow second in The Everest quinella that year.

Classique Legend ($4.20 in 2020), Nature Strip ($3.70 in 2021), and Think About It ($4.40 in 2023) are the current The Everest betting favourites to have won.

Group 1 winning sprinters out of the autumn features earlier in the year including Randwick’s Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) dominate The Everest betting markets as the event is contested at the same track / distance as The Everest race during ‘The Championships’. Dual TJ Smith Stakes champion Nature Strip finally won The Everest in 2021 at his third attempt. Nature Strip would go on to secure his third TJ Smith Stakes victory in 2022.

In 2022 the defending champion Nature Strip started odds-on in The Everest betting after a lead-up win in The Shorts, but only managed to run fourth behind the three-year-old winner Giga Kick who saluted at a blowout price of $21.

The Everest Field

Entry into the spring’s The Everest race field is via a hefty $600,000 payment from connections.

There are 12 spots available into The Everest final field and each of those slots will be sold to interested owners.

Those connections can then choose to trade their position in the world’s richest turf race or go into partnership with another owner who does not hold one of the original slots in The Everest race field.

The Everest field will attract an elite line-up of the world’s best sprinters from both local and international stables and a host of weight-for-age stars.

Many horses that may have previously run in Melbourne spring sprint races may choose to shoot for the bigger prize money in The Everest field with $6.2 million on offer to the winner. Prize money is paid down to 12th so every horse in The Everest field comes away with stakes.

One of the very first potential lead-up races of the spring for horses looking for a slot in The Everest field is August’s Group 3 Show County Quality on Winx Stakes Day.

The other excellent The Everest lead-up is Randwick’s Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1000m) held in early September. Redzel won the Concorde Stakes three years straight (2017-19) including in the lead-up to his back-to-back The Everest victories, while the 2020 Concorde Stakes winner Gytrash ran third in that year’s The Everest trifecta.

Nature Strip (2021) was the last sprinter to complete the Concorde Stakes – The Everest double.

In 2022 Giga Kick won The Everest in an upset after lead-up Melbourne victories in the Group 3 Vain Stakes (1100m) and Group 2 Danehill Stakes (1200m).

The 2023 The Everest winner Think About It came off a lead-up win at the course and distance in the Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m).

2024 The Everest Field

The official The Everest 2024 field and barriers will be made available below as soon as the 12 slots in the race are confirmed by 10am (AEDT) on Tuesday October 8, 2024.

The 2024 The Everest barrier draw is also conducted on Tuesday October 8, 2024 with barriers released around 8:00pm (AEDT) that evening.

The Everest Tips

The Everest betting tips favour proven Group 1 winning sprinters and those proven down under. The 1200m Randwick course gives the advantage to the locally-trained contingent so the Aussie horses in the mix dominate The Everest tips each season.

Because the event is a weight-for-age race the best of the season’s three-year-old stars also feature highly in betting tips for The Everest race. In 2019 Yes Yes Yes won The Everest as a three-year-old, while in 2022 the then undefeated Giga Kick became the second three-year-old The Everest winner with his upset victory.

Keeping an eye on lead-up sprints both in Australia and overseas including England’s Royal Ascot carnival during our winter are also key The Everest tips.
