$10m James Squire Golden Eagle Soars For Charities At Rosehill Gardens

A total of $1 million will be donated to a range of charities as 20 horses line up in Australia’s second richest race, the $10 million James Squire Golden Eagle at Rosehill Gardens this Saturday.

The Sydney Everest Carnival heads to Rosehill Gardens with the fifth running of the James Squire Golden Eagle attracting its strongest field yet and one of the highest rating races of the spring.

Within the capacity 20-horse field are eight individual Group 1 winners and runners from across Australia and New Zealand, along with a runner for the first time from Japan and several European gallopers travelling to Australia.

Racing NSW has worked with the owners of each runner to select an individual charity with 10% of any prizemoney earned by each horse donated – in the case of first place a $525,000 amount of the first place $5.25 million.

A full list of the runners and their charities are listed below.

The raceday will feature a family theme and a range of free children’s entertainment and activities including popular attraction Paw Patrol.

Australian Turf Club Chief Executive, Matt Galanos said the James Squire Golden Eagle was being watched around the world like the TAB Everest.

“With runners from Japan, the UK, Singapore, New Zealand and the best four-year-olds across Australia, the James Squire Golden Eagle has become one of the races of spring," Mr Galanos said.

“James Squire Golden Eagle Day and Rosehill Gardens are taking the Sydney spring to another level as we continue world-class racing through November."

General Admission tickets to Rosehill Gardens start from $30 online when pre-booked at theraces.com.au and include integrated transport across all NSW bus, train and ferry services on the day.

The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Hawaii Five Oh is the $4 TAB favourite with jockey Nash Rawiller ahead of star West Australian mare Amelia’s Jewel ($4.20) for trainer Simon Miller and jockey Damian Lane in the $10m James Squire Golden Eagle.

Kiwi visitor Legarto – a winner of seven from nine starts and trained by Ken and Bev Kelso with jockey Michael Dee – is the only other runner under double figures ($8).

Japan’s runner Obamburumai – who brings Group 1 form from his homeland for trainer Keiji Yoshimura and with local jockey Josh Parr – is at $10.

Sydney’s champion trainer Chris Waller has five of the 20 runners at his home track including Kovalica ($11) with Tommy Berry to ride.

Saturday also sees the running of the $3m Giga Kick Stakes and a return clash between Joe Pride stablemates Think About It and Private Eye from the $20m TAB Everest.

Think About It (jockey Sam Clipperton) is a $1.75 TAB favourite off the back of his TAB Everest triumph – his 11th career win from 12 starts.

The horses are also vying for bonus prizemoney in the Sportsbet Sprint Series across the Everest Carnival along with a bonus for running and winning in both the TAB Everest and Giga Kick Stakes.
