The Everest Race 2020 Field, Betting Tips, Horses & Winners

The Everest horse race is currently one of the most lucrative turf races across the world. It is amongst the newly introduced horse races in Australia, with a rather massive reward of $15 million in 2020, up from the initial $10 million presented during the opening edition. The race was first held in October 2017, at the Royal Randwick Racecourse, in Australia.

The Everest race allows for both Australian-trained horses and those from the international borders. In the Australian spring racing season, the Everest is preceded by lead-up races such as the Randwick’s Group Two The Shorts, which happens in September (1100m), and the 1200m weight-for-age Group 2 Premiere race. Below are the key aspects of The Everest horse race you need to know:

The Everest Field

Admittance to the Spring Everest field is through a whopping $600,000 connection fee. There are only 12 slots present in The Everest Final Field, and every one of these slots sold to willing customers. Such connections may either opt to swap their spot in the turf race or enter into an alliance with another owner who doesn't occupy one of the original chances in the race field.

The Everest competition will draw a formidable line-up of the world's greatest sprinters from both domestic and international stables and also attract several weight-for-age key players. Several horses that might have previously competed in Melbourne's spring sprint runs might prefer to target the lucrative winner prize money available at The Everest race. An added advantage to this race is that each horse participating in The Everest field gets a stake of the prize money.
