Nature Strip is still yet to secure an Everest slot

Discussions between slot holders and connections of star sprinter Nature Strip have been halted with the two parties unable to agree to a fair prize money split.

Nature Strip who sits at the head of current Everest candidates has not secured a slot in October’s $13m Everest at Randwick with slot holders and connections unable to agree on a fair split of the prize money.

Part Owner Rod Lyons had hoped a deal would be secured by now although discussions have been called off between all three slot holders.

Nature Strip is an $8 chance with most bookmakers despite having not secured a slot in the race.

Nature Strip Everest deal OFF for the time being.
Rod Lyons spoke @RadioTABAus this AM
“we’ve had contact from all three slot holders, we thought a deal would be locked away yesterday afternoon, but… it’s not as straight forward as it may seem.
All to do with the $$ split.
