Sydney’s world-renowned $20 million Group 1-TAB Everest has created further history with Saturday’s eighth running at Royal Randwick officially sold out.

Australian Turf Club and Racing NSW closed General Admission ticket sales four days ahead of the event in the interests of safety and comfort for patrons.

Saturday’s total crowd is expected to exceed last year’s number of 46,498 and could reach up to 50,000 people.

All hospitality spaces and functions across Royal Randwick are sold out.

Australian Turf Club's CEO, Matt Galanos said: “The TAB Everest has become the hottest ticket in town and is attracting new fans in record numbers.

“We are delighted to see that more than 30 per cent of ticket sales are aged under 25 and 53 per cent are female, which shows how widespread interest in TAB Everest Day is.

“Saturday will set a new modern-day record number of patrons at Royal Randwick, eclipsing even the unprecedented final run of the immortal Winx.

“We urge all customers to arrive as early as possible and take advantage of public transport which is all included in General Admission tickets and for ATC Members.

“ATC is now focused on working with Racing NSW on creating new spaces and precincts at Royal Randwick to allow even more people to enjoy live and trackside the richest race on turf in the world."
