Run for the first time in 2017 as a Special Conditions class since it is not yet eligible for Group race status.

The race has an unusual entry fee structure, similar to that of the Pegasus World Cup. Twelve “slots” are sold for $600,000 each, which represents a slot in the starting gate for a then unspecified horse.

The Everest is a fascinating mix of the established old guard led by superstar Nature Strip, Eduardo and Masked Crusader, the next wave with the likes of Mazu, and the young guns, Jacquinot and Giga Kick.

The winner earns for connections a cool $6.2 million prizemoney and acknowledgment as the nation’s best sprinter.

The Silver Eagle was delayed a week due to the Randwick washout but the race had to be rescheduled as the top three finishers are guaranteed a start in the $10 million Golden Eagle later this month.

For Team Hawkes, it has proven a blessing as their classy four-year-old Mr Mozart has drawn the rails barrier on Saturday after it was allocated gate 18 last week.

And on the score of how much hype goes into it every year, as shouty promoters assure us of its unmissable greatness at every turn, it beats all other comers by the length of the straight.
