Kerrin McEvoy leads call for The Everest to be given Group 1 status

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Kerrin McEvoy is chasing a record fourth win in The Everest at Royal Randwick on Saturday. He has won the race twice before, on Redzel and Classique Legend. The TAB Everest is worth $15m. It has been running for a few years but is not officially recognised as a Group 1 race. Peter V'landys says it's embarrassing that sprint races are not run at a higher level than The Everset. Mick Price, trainer of one of the leading chances in the Everest, is also pushing for its recognition.

Shades Of Rose has drawn barrier eight in The Everest. Kerrin McEvoy has a great group of rides at The. Everest meeting including Forbidden Love in the $2m Sydney Stakes (1200m), Commando Hunt in $ 2m The Kosciuszko ( 1200m) and Kiss Sum in $1m Silver Eagle (1300m). Chalk Stream, owned by His Majesty King Charles III, will ride in a $500,000 ATC St Leger (2600 m).
