Angel Capital has been confirmed as the latest runner in this year’s $20 million The Everest at Randwick, with slot holder Yulong announcing a partnership with James Harron Bloodstock.
After a nightmare run in the Sir Rupert Clarke on Saturday at Caulfield, the colt will now take on the world’s best sprinter, Ka Ying Rising.
“Angel Capital looks to have gone to another level this preparation,” Harron said.
“We’re honoured to partner with Yulong and this hugely exciting horse – he very much looks as though he will be ideally suited to what is shaping up to be a very high-pressure Everest this year.”
Yulong chief executive Sam Fairgray said the deal reflected the team’s confidence in the Chris Waller-trained colt.
”Angel Capital is a colt on an upward trajectory this season and Mr Zhang and the Yulong team are thrilled he has the chance to spread his wings in the world’s richest turf race,” Fairgray said.
Angel Capital is currently $15 with Bet365, with Ka Ying Rising favourite at $1.75.
