Racing Online - Horse Racing News - Damion Flower To Run English In Everest

Defending titleholder is back in work to prepare for the $13 million Everest with half the slots now decided following 's announcement he had selected English.

Flower said he had come to an agreement with the mare's owners, , for the Gai and -trained mare to run for him in the 1200m-race at Randwick on October 13.

English ran sixth in the race last year and has since won the Doomben 10,000.

Flower said he had been looking at the sprint races at Royal before deciding on a horse to take his slot but Lady Aurelia was disappointing in the King's Stand and Harry Angel, another under consideration, was caught up in the barrier and lost all chance in the Diamnd Jubilee.

“I was approached by Charles Kelly from Newhaven last week,” Flower told Sky Sports Radio.

“She was on my list anyway.

“She just really appealed to me. I knew there were already five horses taken and you have a fair idea what the other slot holders might be looking at.

“She beat Redzel fair and square in the 10,000.”

Redzel, who finished fourth in his defence of the 10,000 last month, will run for in the Everest.

His owners Triple Crown said he was back in work at Randwick with Peter and who were more than happy with his condition.

The other four horses confirmed for The Everest are (Aquis Farm), Brave Smash (Chris Waller) In Her Time (TAB) and (Star Entertainment).
