$15million Everest is the Achievable Dream – Pedigree Watch

Tara Madgwick - Thursday October 13

It’s worth $15million and is widely regarded as the best sprint in the world, but the price of a runner in this year’s Everest is not what you would think and the sires represented give hope to every single breeder in Australia that they too could one day produce an Everest contender.

Masked Crusader has always been a stunning individual.

The Sale Mail above shows the most expensive runner as Masked Crusader, who was bred by Black Caviar’s breeder Rick Jamieson of Gilgai Farm and at $340,000 was the most expensive yearling from the first crop of High Chaparral’s outstanding miler Toronado (IRE).

Well known racehorse syndicators account for three runners in the race with Triple Crown Syndications securing Mazu for $180,000 at Inglis Classic, Proven Thoroughbreds purchased Private Eye from Magic Millions Adelaide for $62,500 and Darby Racing snaffled Overpass for $75,000 at Inglis Easter.

These geldings were not super expensive and have big ownership groups that have already reaped significant rewards and there is more to come!

Randwick trainer John O’Shea plucked his Kiwi bred Everest horse Lost and Running from Inglis Premier for $40,000 and there is not a shadow of a doubt he has exceeded all expectations from that day forward.

Nicconi is the sire of the world's highest rated sprinter Nature Strip.

Two stallions have multiple runners in the race and both stand in Victoria this spring, Nicconi at Widden Stud at a fee of $22,000 and Rubick at Swettenham Stud at the same price.

What’s more both have previously sired Everest winners with Nicconi siring last year’s winner Nature Strip and Rubick siring Yes Yes Yes to win in 2019.

Victoria is also home to Vancouver, the Woodside Park based sire of Overpass, Swettenham Stud based Toronado, sire of Masked Crusader and also Darley based Frosted (USA), sire of Ingratiating, so more than half of the field are by active Victorian sires!
