Last season’s Everest (1200m) runner-up, I Wish I Win, is looking to go one better come October.
The gelding has been confirmed to represent Entain’s Trackside Media in the $20 million race at Randwick on October 19.
Trained by Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, I Wish I Win finished just 0.4 lengths behind last year’s winner, Think About It.
“We’re delighted to be involved with ‘Wish’ again, together with the team at Waikato Stud and Moody Coleman Racing,” said Cameron Rodger, Entain Australia and New Zealand managing director.
“His win in the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup in Brisbane last month showed us he’s going to be perfectly primed to climb the Randwick mountain in October and we’re sure he’s going to have plenty of Kiwi fans cheering him on too.”
I Wish I Win is the second horse officially confirmed for The Everest, following the selection of former West Australian sprinter Bustling by slot holders Max Whitby and Neil Werrett.
With over two months to go until The Everest, I Wish I Win is a $4.50 favourite with horse racing bookmakers.
