Breednet - Monday October 7

The Everest picture is just about finalised with Godolphin announcing their runner and the newly vacant slot held by Max Whitby, Neil Werrett and Col Madden making their selection after Saturday’s races.

Traffic Warden

Boom Western Australian three-year-old Bustling had been purchased specifically for the Whitby, Werrett, Madden slot however a foot issue curtailed his preparation.

Think About It had been favoured to take the opening however after Saturday’s Premiere Stakes it has been announced the other Joe Pride/Proven Thoroughbreds contender Private Eye will be their runner.

Private Eye finished third in last year’s Everest to Think About It and has had two lead-up runs for a fourth in the Concorde Stakes to I Am Me and sixth in the The Shorts to I Am Me.
