Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 3, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 3, 2018 The world will be watching as a field of 12 descends on Royal Randwick racecourse to compete in the second running of the A$13-million TAB Everest next Friday, Oct. 12. Sky Racing Word, the Louisville, Kentucky-based distributor of international horse-racing content and subsidiary of Australian wagering operator Tabcorp, will donate $5,000 to charity through its ‘Climbing Everest’ promotion. To celebrate next Friday’s race, Sky Racing World has invited 12 industry personalities from North America–including Keeneland’s Kurt Becker (Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund), TVG’s Britney Eurton (New Vocations) and NBC’s Donna Brothers (Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance)–to participate in the ‘Climbing Everest’ promotion. Each will be representing a spectrum of organizations, many dedicated to horse racing welfare. Having already been assigned a gate number, participants will now wait for the official ‘barrier/gate draw’ Tuesday, Oct. 9 in Sydney, Australia, which will determine the horse allocation for each participant. David Haslett, President and CEO, at Sky Racing World, said, “It’s a great sign for both The Everest and the sport of horse racing in general that we have prominent industry personalities getting involved in this promotion. The Everest is only in its second year and it has already garnered the global attention needed to draw notable individuals that genuinely care for the welfare of the horse racing industry.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
