James Harron Bloodstock is delighted to announce that they will team up with Wally and George Daly along with Lindsay Park Racing to target the 2018 edition of The Everest with star sprinter Vega Magic.

Vega Magic - Grant CourtneyOf the agreement James Harron said, "We have been biding our time, waiting to secure a horse with the credentials to win the race and importantly to see that they have returned in top form. Vega Magic was favourite for the race last year when running a great second and his return in the Bletchingly Stakes yesterday was that of a top-class sprinter at the top of his game. 

"We are delighted to secure him to run in our slot, which is owned by Belinda Bateman, Fergus & Delia Doyle, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, Donna & Rob Love, John & Fran Ingham, Danny & Pauline Saab and Gary Diamond.

"Credit to Wally and George for breeding such an outstanding sprinter, and to David Hayes and his team at Lindsay Park for getting this horse right back to his best yesterday - we are tremendously excited to team up with them as we attempt to scale The Everest once more."
