Fell Swoop will take a slot in The Everest
Multiple Group One placegetter Fell Swoop will get his chance in The Everest with auction house William Inglis and Son naming him as its representative in the $10 million race.
Inglis managing director Mark Webster said they had bought a slot in March and had been searching for an Inglis graduate before deciding on Fell Swoop who is at $21 to win The Everest.
Trained by Matt Dale in Canberra, Fell Swoop has been placed in the past two TJ Smith Stakes over the 1200m-course at Randwick where The Everest will be run in October.
Fell Swoop who has not won in over a year is a Group 2 winner and has been placed five times at Group 1 level.
The Everest will be in its inaugural year and is worth $10million.
Fell Swoop is a $26 chance in 2017 The Everest markets.
Three-time TJ Smith winner Chautauqua is the $4.60 favourite ahead of Irish horse Caravaggio and Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign at $8.
The Coolmore-owned Caravaggio runs in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot on Friday (Saturday AEST).
