Everest Barrier Draw

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday October 15

The $20million The Everest (1200m) is the richest turf race in the world and the barrier draw on Tuesday night at Randwick was always going to be pivotal in what is seen as an even race this year.

With two wins at her past two starts, I Am Me drew gate one and is one of only two last start winners in the race the other being Sunshine in Paris, who drew gate 8.

Second in last year’s Everest, when he drew barrier one, I Wish I Win has come up with nine this time which will suit him better given his pattern of racing.

All of the three year-old colts are well fancied and fared well with Traffic Warden in two, Storm Boy in five and Growing Empire in seven.
