Sunshine in Paris Out of Everest

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 27

There are still four vacant slots for the $20million The Everest on October 14 with news Annabel Neasham has been forced to withdraw Sunshine in Paris due to injury which will possibly put the spotlight on Espiona as a serious contender.

Sunshine in Paris was brilliant when resuming from a spell to win the Group II ATC Sheraco Stakes beating the Chris Waller trained Espiona, who came out last Saturday to win the Group II ATC Golden Pendant Stakes at 1400m.

Sunshine in Paris was bought by James Harron Bloodstock for $3.9million at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale this year on behalf of John Camilleri’s Fairway Thoroughbreds, but connections will have to wait a little longer before recouping some of that investment.

"She has just tweaked a ligament, it's only a minor strain but it's not worth the risk,'' Neasham told Racenet.

"It's not career-ending, it's an annoying little setback and you can't have a setback so close to the big race. We will give her a break now and she should be back for the autumn.''
