Last Saturday Flemington Quaddie -$11,875 – say no more !!!

Edmund Hillary – “ The Dream Comes True “
Well we must say that the promotion of The $10 Million Everest has been totally outstand-
ing and all sports administrators world wide could certainly take a leaf or two out of this
marketing book. Even Racing NSW CEO Peter V'Landys himself is amazed the way this has
all fallen into place. This ultra-planned promotion of racing to a new audience has been an
outstanding marketing feat FULL STOP.
A weight-for-age sprint contested over 1200m, The Everest is now the jewel of the Sydney
Spring Racing Carnival crown and is a Restricted race that does not hold black-type status.
The $10 million prize pool sees it surpass the iconic Melbourne Cup ($6.2 million) as the
richest Australian horse race.
The Everest is unlike any other race contested down under and entry into The Everest field
comes at a colossal cost of $600,000 to connections. Only the richest racing horse owners
will be able to buy their way into the event and The Everest field has a capacity of 12 start-
ers.
Open to both Australian-trained and international horses The Everest is expected to become
one of the most recognised and revered racing events held anywhere in the world.
Continued on page 3.
 The Redbacks head into this season with expectation.
Following two years of minor success they will head into
games expecting to win, not if but when !
The coaching group don't tolerate second best in any
part of the journey, off the on or off field ' and these
blokes will puff their chests out and take on anyone with
the self belief that they can beat anyone in the individ-
ual contest ! There you have it, I have put my Plums on
the line, and I value them !!
In addition, South Australia's best strike bowler since Diz-
zy will probably take over 60 wickets again, with all the
pin heads in the East, mutter , How does he do it !!
In fact I can't remember any one in recent times that
holds a candle to Chad Sayers. He never lets you down,
he has the best control of any bowler, in Australia, and
any where else, and he is sharper than you think when he
wants to be ! But he's too short ! Bull Dust, just ask Mal-
colm Marshal, Harold Larwood Ray Lindwall, Rodney
Hogg ! etc. Wind him up, put him in the Test team now,
take him to England and he will help carry the Ashes
back.

Continued from page 1. So the theme of The Everest is this: you might have to be rich to
buy a slot but you don't have to be rich to be in the race. Maybe just a little lucky.
That little bit of luck just escaped the connections of South Australia’s star sprinter Viddora
in the Moir Stakes by a whisker right on the line otherwise a slot deal would have gone
down with the Kennewell stable for sure.
If you were lucky enough to be at Flemington last Saturday to witness live the new wonder
mare of the world WINX win the Turnbull Stakes was just class personified .We are so lucky
to now have witnessed three wonderful race mares in recent time – Makybe Diva ,Black
Caviar and now Winx.
Waller only wants what is the best for Winx. She might be a publicity machine, an undenia-
ble crowd puller, but she's a racehorse ahead of everything else.
The rivalry between NSW and Victorian Race clubs and media bodies concerning the Ever-
est, Winx and a few other issues is getting a bit dirty to say the least .
I know that’s easy to say that sitting back in Adelaide town but
just let everyone enjoy this time of the year with so called fan-
tastic “sport of kings” for what it is.
Meanwhile, Sportsbet has combined with the Ballarat race
club to hold "The Hotham" this Thursday. It's a $50,000 race
for the worst horses in the country.

MORPHETTVILLE CHATTER
A regular visitor to Morphettville John Castleman from Mildura
has decided to retire after 50 years as a horse trainer.
John trained many winners with some outstanding horses being
Court Hero, Solid Reason and Mango’s Lunch as well as training
five Mildura Cup winners.
John would have loved to continue training but the strong oppo-
sition that now comes to Mildura constantly from the large Vic-
torian stables like Darren Weir, etc. in search of the current Mildura R.C. well-structured
prizemoney and VOBIS payments has forced John’s hand. Amazingly Darren Weir worked
under John’s care as a young man learning his craft.
Wonderful news that from the 1st of December prize money will be paid to Trainers, Jock-
eys and Owners in less than a week in most instances. Everyone we have spoken to about
this quick payment system would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all concerned for getting
this deal across the line.
This Saturday marks one hundred years of racing at Manangatang, would be interesting to
know who is going this year and who has been there before? Anyone attending please
send us some pictures.
The buzz around the track is "Winx is just 19 wins off a lucrative sponsorship deal with wait
for it Forty Winks." lol….

 A football coach stormed into his clubs president's office and
demanded a raise right then and there. "Please," protested
the club president, "you already make more than all the other
AFL coaches." "Yeah, maybe so, but you don't know what I
have to put up with," the coach blustered.. "Look here let me
show you."
He went out into the hall and
grabbed the club’s captain,
who was jogging down a hall-
way. "Run over to my office and see if I'm there," the coach
ordered. Ok said the captain and he headed off. Twenty
minutes later the captain returns, sweaty and out of breath.
"You're not there sir," he reported. The coach looks at the
president and shakes his head. "Oh, I see what you mean,"
conceded the president, shaking his own head, "I would
have phoned."
