2026 TAB Everest Preview
Scheduled to take place in October of each year at the Randwick Racecourse is The Everest, a race that is the richest horse race in Australia and ranks high up in terms of value in the world, too. The 2025 renewal had a purse of $20 million!
The race is run over a distance of six furlongs (1,200m) and features during the Sydney Spring Carnival. The race is currently included in the 'Special Conditions' class, as it is not yet eligible for Group race status and was only introduced in 2017.
