Caulfield Cup Everest

This week, two of the great races on the Australian calendar go head to head, one of them 145 years old and the other just seven years young. The local, imported and overseas stayers do battle in the Caulfield Cup, while the best sprinters in the land duke it out in the $20 million Everest at Randwick, where enigmatic ex-Kiwi I Wish I Win is sure to be among the main fancies. The King Charles III Stakes for the milers and the Kosciuszko for the country sprinters add intrigue to the Randwick card, while the Sportsbet Classic for the derby-bound three-year-olds, the Thousand Guineas Prelude for the fillies and the Millennium Sprint are on the undercard at the Heath. In Adelaide, more Victoria Derby contenders will be going around in the Hill Smith Stakes at Morphettville.
