The odds of star gelding Nature Strip winning the $15 million race just got a little better with the second favourite ruled out following a veterinary ...

Nature Strip is a $1.90 chance to defend his Everest title with Eduardo assessed at $12 but Pride says his veteran is not going to lie down in the straight. With Lost And Running out, hot favourite Nature Strip’s chances of attempting to go back-to-back at The Everest just a got a little better for trainer Chris Waller. One of the leading chances for the The Everest has been sensationally scratched on the morning of the $15 million race.

Second favourite Lost And Running is out of the $15 million Everest with Godolphin veteran Kementari gaining a start.

In Lost And Running's absence, Nature Strip has firmed to $1.65 to win the Everest for a second time. Lost And Running finished fourth in the 2021 Everest and was second favourite to claim this year's edition. "A vet inspection this morning has found Lost And Running to be lame in the off hind leg and unsuitable to start in The Everest," a Racing NSW statement said.

This isn’t the only new addition. It is like the 100 metre final at the Olympics for me,” she said. “I love the sprint down the straight at Royal Randwick. On the big day she wore a strapless and floorlength white dress with a blue floral design print, which she paired with a dainty jewelled headband. She added a blue clutch bag to keep in touch with the theme. Model Nikki Phillips, similar to Lillian and Simone, worse a beautiful white dress to the race day, making it pop with a large blue statement hat. Farmer Wants A Wife’s Samantha Armytage stunned in a fuschia high neck dress with a pop of blue and orange on the collar. She completed the look with pointed orange heels and a light blue fascinator, adding her own style to the theme perfectly. One of the biggest days in racing – and fashion – is here with The Everest kicking off, and stars such as Simone Holtznagel stealing the show in a white dress. With The Everest, guests were encouraged to incorporate a touch of light blue, in keeping with traditions, and while some embraced the trend others chose to stand out. Simone paired the stunning frock with a large white brimmed hat with straps to draw attention to her neck.

A stunning upset in The Everest (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday, with Giga Kick making it 5/5 in his short career to date and remaining unbeaten, ...

If they actually want to win the race, pick their best sprinter, not the one that best suits a potential stud CV. Joyful Fortune: I actually thought he didn’t disgrace himself. He made up some ground but was never threatening, as is the story of his life. Chasing from a fair way out and first look at the big boys, she could have spat the dummy out but kept on. Kementari: He got back in the run and was chasing from the outset but picked up and was solid late between runners. Overpass: Overpass got into a lovely spot just behind the speed and was there to be a threat at the top of the straight. He was tardy to begin but tried to get on the back of Private Eye. Pre race, the wide gate looked a blessing. If that hasn’t busted him, he’s the one to beat in The Everest next year. Could not have been ridden any better by Avdulla and was hailed as the winner when he came off the back of Nature Strip but was bloused on the peg by a star three year old. Rating: 10/10 What a training performance and what a ride.

Giga Kick took the lead inside the final 100m as short favourite Nature Strip faded.

Giga Kick paid $19.50 for the win. "This horse just does things that people haven't seen. He's a star. It's a bit of a whirlwind. READ MORE: You can see today, 53kg, ridden like that, he's electric.
