Redzel (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}), successful in the inaugural 1200-metre The Everest at Royal Randwick last October, will defend his title in the A$13-million event representing Yulong Investments. In 2017, the dual Group 1 winner represented James Harron Bloodstock. The Triple Crown Syndications colourbearer is the third horse in possession of an Everest slot after In Her Time (Aus) (Time Thief {Aus}) and Trapeze Artist (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}). The Peter and Paul Snowden trainee is eyeing a start in Saturday's G1 Doomben 10,000.
“Redzel obviously won it last year, but he is so adaptable in all conditions,” Yulong Chief Operating Officer Sam Fairgray told Racing NSW. “It's exciting to have a good, tough, honest horse. He creates his own luck and that's a great asset to have. Mr. [Yuesheng] Zhang [of Yulong Investments] also has horses in work with the Snowdens and as far as a trainer who can target a race and get it spot on, their record with that is fantastic.”
“We've got the proven formula that worked last year and we'll follow a similar path,” Triple Crown Syndications Director Michael Ward told Racenet.com.au. “We've got the right horse at the right time and we feeel blessed to have him. We look forward to trying to climb Everest again with Yulong.”
