What an incredible Everest Day at Randwick!

Darby Racing 20.10.2025

What a day to remember for our team with 9 runners across stakes races on one of the biggest days on the Australian racing calendar. While we didn’t come away with a win, there were some truly outstanding performances that made us all proud.

Overpass was simply enormous, giving absolutely everything in The Everest to finish a brave 4th, narrowly pipped for 2nd after a Herculean effort. Iowna Merc was superb running 2nd in the Sydney Stakes, while Caballus produced blistering closing sectionals from last to finish 5th in the same race — an effort full of promise. Mayfair was gallant on debut for our stable, running 3rd in the Silver Eagle, and Raging Force bounced right back to form with a terrific 2nd in the Gothic Stakes.

A huge congratulations to the connections of Ka Ying Rising, the sensational Everest winner — what a superstar he is!

A massive thank you to our amazing owners, trainers, riders, and stable staff for their continued hard work and support, and to Racing NSW and the ATC for delivering another world-class event.

What a day, what a thrill — we can’t wait to do it all again next year!
