Everest Diaries 2020 Issue 3

Everest Diaries began with the vision to celebrate and immortalise what is momentary. Gerry Harvey describes it best when he says that if "I can't breed, sell, own or race (Thoroughbred) Champions then I don't want to be in this industry". To him, his greatest satisfaction lies in his ability to provide the world with top quality products or to cherish them for himself. 

 

The Everest celebrates the greatest sprinters of the year on a world pedestal. 

 

This week we speak to one of the greatest champions of the Everest concept and one of Australia's National Treasures - Chris Waller about Nature Strip and his Everest plans, the slot he owns, lessons learned during COVID-times and much.

 

We also speak to Australian billionaire and Magic Millions' co-owner and the breeder of Alligator Blood about the interesting sale of the horse that no-one wanted who has become both a racing and a social media phenomenon. The son of All Too Hard who signifies hope and tenacity through his name and his owners life-journey is currently Harvey's favourite horse. 

 

In our chat with David Vandyke, we find out about the trainer's Spring plans for his champion sprinter Alligator Blood and Ciaron Maher's own journey and plans for Phoenix Thoroughbred's owned-Loving Gaby.
