With owners like the All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, New Zealand businessman Patrick Harrison, Peter R O D L Y O N S : Kean, Greg Smith, Jack Van Durren and Rod Lyons, Nature Strip was used to being in celebrity circles even before he ran his first race. Australia's top sprinter was also the first out of the stable when he D O N ’ T M E S S was the first to be confirmed as the Everest Sprint contender for TAB Corp.

W I T H A F O R C E The Everest Diaries speaks to co-owner Rod Lyons about Nature Strip's second punt at The Everest Cup, O F N A T U R E the story of their syndicate and much more: Q: Please tell us a bit more about his campaign towards The Everest? A: After a couple of trials and a track gallop, he will race in the Concorde Stakes followed by another 1200m race in two weeks (The Premier stakes) and then finally The Everest.

Q: After The Everest, do you have any international races planned? A: Depending on how Nature Strip performs, we are all pretty keen to travel. We had invitations to Dubai and the Royal Ascot this year but things didn't work out. We love having a good time. As long as Waller O9 | EVEREST DIARIES agrees, anything is possible! He looks terrific, and he’s ready to race against the world's best sprinters in The Everest. He was always a big horse, and he has taken his own time to mature. But he’s had just 20- odd starts. We believe the best is ahead of him yet.

Q: Have you considered a punt at The / ROD LYONS/ Melbourne Cup with a stayer? A: We enjoy owning horses and winning races. You have to be very lucky to get an Australian-bred horse that can compete. We have a rising 3YO that's a possibility (Tavistock colt out of a Zabeel mare) called Through Irish Eyes. But the English, French, Japanese and Irish have an incredible advantage with hundreds of years of the stayer bloodlines.

Q: How did Nature Strip come to be bought by you? A: A friend of a friend bought Nature Strip as a yearling. But they ran into financial troubles and couldn’t pay. So my friend rang and asked if I would like to buy him instead. At that point, he had already been broken in. We liked him from the start and decided to buy him when our friend called to tell us about this situation.

Q: Please tell us a bit about yourself? A) I used to be a General Manager of a very large manufacturing company. We moved from Melbourne to a small farm in the Mornington peninsula. We have a few sheep and a few vines growing. It’s a stunning part of the world, with beaches on both sides of the peninsula. We couldn’t be happier!

The gregarious man on the phone did not sound like he had been battling the government for over two A L L A N decades or someone whose wife was battling terminal cancer. He was joyous about having his Sinatra-loving 'Al' in The Everest and the jubilatory E N D R E S Z : F L Y spirit was catchy. Alligator Blood’s co-owner Allan Endresz talks with Everest Diaries about his horse L I K E A and his view of the racing world: Q: What races will you be targeting Alligator Blood leading upto the Everest? A: Alligator Blood (Al) will have a couple of trials at B U T T E R F L Y Sunshine Coast QLD in late August followed by his first race on 12 September 2020 at Sunshine Coast in 1,100m open class. If the weights are too great at S T I N G L I K E Sunshine Coast, Al will be sent straight to Sydney for a 1,100m open class race. Al is then set for the Everest on 17 October 2020 (1,200m) & Golden Eagle A N on 31 October 2020 (1,500m) in Sydney. This is a specifically targeted spring campaign with training based on Al simply enjoying his racing without any A L L I G A T O R ’ undue pressures. Unlike his previous campaigns, Al will be far more mature & stronger with fewer races scheduled and good breaks in between to ensure he remains fresh. Lot’s of water walker/treadmill programs and off-track low-level general riding. Al loves stable life and being around his stable buddies like Wolf Moon (Wandji) & Crypto Tycoon (Simmo). 13 | EVEREST DIARIES Q: And what are your plans for the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021? Are any Al the horse (and in international races on the cards? A: After the Golden Eagle on 31 October name) is resonating as a 2020, Al will be sent back out to spell for a couple of months. He will then be targeted beacon of hope in these for an Autumn campaign.

Q: As we’ve discussed it could you please tell us more about his virtual profile and his / ALLAN ENDRESZ / social media success. A: Al is Australia's most popular horse. This was proven with the record-breaking votes he received in the All-Star Mile. 18,501 people voted for Al. He has a social media supporter base of over 144,000 fans. Due to the global economic, social and COVID 19 meltdown, Al the horse (and in name) is resonating as a beacon of hope in these current times of despair and isolation. His name, “Alligator Blood” is a term used in poker which means someone who is tenacious, resilient and never ever gives up. People suffering from financial hardship, mental despair and terminal illnesses are now looking to Al as a reason to keep fighting. Throughout history, horses have appeared out of nowhere to lift the human spirit above and beyond the negative forces of the day. In 1877 there was the great Kincsem. In the late 1920’s and early 1930’s there was Man O’War, Sir Barton, Seabiscuit and Phar Lap. In later years, there were inspirational horses like Secretariat, Citation, Seattle Slew, Frankel, Black Caviar, Tulloch, Winx, Kingston Town, the list

/ ALLAN ENDRESZ /

goes on. Al delivers a very subtle message to his followers. It is not whether you win or lose, it’s whether you can keep fighting. Al loves the Frank Sinatra song, “Fly me to the moon”, and has the personality and quirky character to inspire all those around him with his “die once but live every second” attitude.

Q: What kind of horse is he? And how would you describe him at the track?A: He is a big kid with ADT. He thinks training is a total waste of his time. He believes he is the king of the castle around other horses and that they should bow down to him. He is a true professional on race day and eager to get the job down. He thinks he is the boss on race day and a born leader of the herd. No one in the herd should be better than him. Al loves the adulation and applause from the crowd, and in particular, follows every camera to give his best pose with head held high. After his Australian Guineas Group 1 victory, the Flemington race track played his favourite song, “Fly me to the moon” over the PA system. Al glided back to the winners' enclosure as if he was doing a victory dance to his favourite song. It was an incredibly emotional victory to hear his fans singing his song while he moved in sync to the music.

Q: What according to you, was his best performance thus far and why?A: In terms of Group races, there is no doubt that Al’s victories in the CS Hayes Stakes (G3) 15.03.2020 and Australian Guineas (G1) 29.02.2020 are at the top. The CS Hayes Stakes will be forever immortalized as one of the great two- horse races where Al (QLD) and Catalyst (NZ) fought it out to the very end.

15 | EVEREST DIARIES The race is very reminiscent of the great battles between Bonecrusher vs Our It's easy to impress me. I Waverly Star or Redoute’s Choice vs Testa Rossa. In terms of Al showing his true Alligator Blood spirit and powerful don't need a fancy party determination to win, my personal favourites are his maiden race at the to be happy. Just good Sunshine Coast on 30.12. 2018 and Magic Millions $2m 3Yr old 11.01.2020. In the friends, good food, and maiden, Al came from 8-10 lengths last to burst home and win on the line. He looked gone for all money but never gave up. On good laughs. I'm happy. Magic Millions day, he overcame a delay caused by a crash on the highway, endured I'm satisfied. I'm over 3 hours of heat exhaustion, unable to drink on arrival at the track and refocused content. even after other horses caused further delays when breaking the barriers early / MARIA SHARAPOVA / and losing a shoe.

Q: Which sales do you frequent when you are buying a horse at the sales? Do you have a bloodstock agent/ mentor helping you through your choices?A: The Ezybonds No 1 Syndicate comprises me, my Uncle Jeff Simpson and Aunty Robyn Simpson. I am the senior managing partner with a 60% interest. We enjoy going to Inglis and Magic Millions' sales. We have no blookstock agents and prefer to select our yearlings ourselves. Our criteria for selection are:Pedigree going back over 5-8 generations. Particularly on the dam side.ConfirmationVet checks, x-rays, scopes, blood tests, flexion, and movement.Temperament with an emphasis on reaction to my singing. Their nature should be similar to that of a pet dog.

Q: Which is your favourite horse of all time? And why? A: I have a couple. In the USA it is either Man O’War or Secretariat. Just sensational animals with incredible wills to win. In Australia, it is Better Loosen Up. A local horse owned by locals in my home town of Albury. He achieved the highest accolades against superstars of his generation and remains the only Australian horse to this day to win the Japan Cup. In Hungary (my fathers place of birth), there is Kincsem. The greatest horse in history with the most successive unbeaten runs of 54 in a row.

16 | EVEREST DIARIES Q: Why the name Alligator Blood? A: As described above, Al's name means It's easy to impress me. I someone who is tenacious, resilient and never gives. His name resonates in my business life after fighting the Australian don't need a fancy party government for over 21 years (See: http://davissamuel.blogspot.com/2014/10/al to be happy. Just good lan-endresz-v-commonwealth- litigation.html), rebuilding our businesses, friends, good food, and strengthening family and close friends relationships during hard times and, even more importantly, supporting my wife, Joy. good laughs. I'm happy. She has terminal cancer with not many months to live. Al has become a tower of I'm satisfied. I'm strength to keep going and enjoy every moment of his racing. It's never been about content. the money (we declined an offer of $3.2 million). Al is about the love and joy we / MARIA SHARAPOVA / (and his fans) get from our song loving big pet.

Q: How long have you been involved in horses? A: I was first introduced to in 1983 when I had a small interest in a racehorse called “Canada Kid”. He was a lovely horse but he decided that he only liked to be an eventer. Over the years I have dabbled in syndicates (with some successes) before my Uncle, Aunty and I decided to form the Ezybonds No 1 Syndicate on the 3 January 2007. We have had many winners over that time and now have a portfolio of 22 racehorses. We have high expectations that Al will be joined at Group One-winning level with his stable buddies, Wandji and Simmo. This time next year we may also be talking about our latest crop of yearlings sired from Shalaa, Capitalist, All Too Hard and American Pharoah. They are given plenty of time to mature with x-rays regularly taken every two months to provide them with the best opportunity. They all love music and seem to listen to Al about how to train hard and behave on the track. To be professional while enjoying what a horse does best…..to run.

Gytrash is a mythical black dog known in Northern England, was said to haunt lonely roads awaiting L E G E N D A R Y travellers. It can also appear in the shape of a horse, mule or crane and can also be benevolent, guiding lost travellers to the right road. They are usually O R R E A L - feared. The word describes "any strange looking individual." G Y T R A S H I S Potential Everest contender Gytrash, is none of the above. A powerful horse won his 68-year old South Australian trainer Gordon Richards his first Group One success after destroying the reputations & the H E R E T O S T A Y hope of most punters with a stunning Gr.1 Lightning Stakes victory

T H E C O U R S E Gytrash is already on his way to The Everest, having returned to work a few weeks ago. Richards is already being courted by one slot holder.

After a long night of celebration, Gordon and Jacqui Richards decided to kill some time before their flight home, by visiting the Inglis Premier Sale. They had no intention of buying when they happened to see a chestnut colt being paraded for inspection. He took their breath away. "He had this unusual blaze beginning at the forehead and finishing halfway down his face," recalled Gordon. "His confirmation was impossible to fault, and he was a lovely walker." 19 | EVEREST DIARIES Gordon was pleased as punch when colt's official X/Rays cleared. The trainer made They had no intention hurried arrangements for a friend to represent him, with strict instructions not of buying when they to exceed A$40,000 in a few days, when the yearling was due in the ring. Eventually, happened to see a Gordon's friend secured the chestnut for A$41,000. “I liked his sire and his broodmare sire – . And he was chestnut Lope De Vega good value for money.” colt being paraded for Conceived during Lope De Vega’s fourth and final shuttle season in Australia, inspection. He took Gytrash (Correctly pronounced ‘Gee Trah’) and famed sprinter Santa Ana Lane share Fastnet Rock as a broodmare sire as well as their breath away. a sire.

/ GORDON RICHARDS / It took Richards some time to convince clients old and new, and Gytrash ended up being syndicated to 40 owners.

Gelded as an early 2YO, Gytrash returned after a minor injury to the star-studded Group One Lightning Stakes under Mark Zahra.

With the majority of watchers focused Nature Strip and the dual Everest winner Redzel, few were only aware of the Chestnut horse when Gytrash suddenly loomed up to Redzel at the 200m with Nature Strip struggling and Loving Gaby starting to hit top gear. “It was a monstrous thrill when he beat those horses so decisively to give the stable our first ever Group 1”, said Gordon.

Thoroughbreds have been in Gordon's life since childhood days in Port Lincoln. "My father Henry was a plumber but hobby trained for years, and there was always a horse or two at our place," he said. "I rode regular trackwork for several years and enjoyed the experience of getting them ready for races.”

Gordon’s stables are just across the road from . He’s never been a big team trainer, preferring to keep the numbers around the 20 mark. “It just doesn’t make sense to lose touch with each individual horse for the sake of having large numbers,” said the trainer. “In fact right at the moment, I’ve got two spare boxes”.

20 | EVEREST DIARIES “Next year the owners want to head to Dubai for The Dubai World Cup day"

/GORDON RICHARDS/

Gordon is already planning his champion's world tour, "This year we had an invite to Royal Ascot. But things didn't work out, and we turned them down. And with the COVID19 situation, eventually, it turned out we couldn't have gone anyways."

“Next year the owners want to head to Dubai for the Dubai World Cup Carnival and The Dubai World Cup race day instead of going up to England.” If Gytrash were to head to Dubai, he would be part of Dubai's Silver Jubilee celebrations for the Dubai World Cup.According to Gordon, the son of Lope De Vega is easy to train, “He gets a good dizzy on race days and is very switched on. He knows when it’s time to ‘go’ and is very versatile.”

Gordon’s self-professed stable stars include Garner, Bold Star and rising 2YO Crown Mint who is expected back for the Spring Carnival.

He’s unconvinced about training a Melbourne Cup winner as one of his ambitions, “Racing is a funny game. It’s very hard to get top-quality Australian bred stayers. Most of them are brought down from Europe for the Melbourne Cup. But then you never know, if you are lucky….”

Finally, when asked what would happen if Gytrash won The Everest, he conceded, "quite a few parties would be in order, I suspect. We are all from Adelaide, and most of us would be in Sydney for The Everest, if Gytrash wins, we would have A$15 million reasons for a good party.”

Leading Northern Rivers trainer Matthew Dunn never expected to see the words ‘Snitz’ and ‘The M A T T H E W Everest’ in the same sentence. Now it is being whispered in the hallowed racing halls around D U N N : W H E N Australasia. So there we go! After the COVID19 restrictions came into play, Dunn didn’t have a WFH option, “We are in the far North in L I F E G I V E S Murwillumbah. We would typically take our horses into Queensland for the races. When COVID19 restrictions came into Y O U L E M O N S , force, the borders closed and we couldn’t go into Queensland. So we had to think out-of-the-box. We decided to take our best horses into Sydney and Y O U M A K E target the top races there instead,” said Dunn.

And one of his top horses Snitz has been a revelation L E M O N A D E since the move. The 5YO gelding was purchased at a Ready To Race sale on the Gold Coast. He has already scored two wins, since his move to Sydney, the latest in the Listed Takeover Target Stakes.

“The level he’s racing at now, I didn’t ever envisage him getting too, to be honest,” Dunn said in an interview with Racenet..

“The timing of the transition to the Sydney stable and track was a good one. He’s reached full 23 | EVEREST DIARIES maturity.” "We sent our best horses to Sydney. They were in peak condition, which helped expedite the journey and helped them remain very competitive." “The level he’s racing at “Snitz is currently on a break, but he is pointed at The Kosciusko, and The Everest” now, I didn’t ever Dunn said. envisage him getting to, Matthew Dunn started as a jockey and later transitioned to training when he got too heavy, “I rode for about six years before I to be honest,” started training. Rising weight made opportunities less and less frequent as time / MATTHEW DUNN / went on. At that time, I had no real intention to train ever.”

After training at Port Macquarie for five years, Gerald Ryan asked him to run his Sydney stable which helped Dunn get broad work experience with a range of horses.

The transition hasn’t been easy says Dunn, “I’ve never worked so hard in my life. My partner and I are working separately for the past few months as well. But in the end, it is about getting the job done."

His other stable star – Lady Banff has added another string to her bow, coming from off the pace on a heavy track to make a winning return and provide the Matthew Dunn stable with the first leg of a winning double at Rosehill. She is pointed at the Melbourne Filly Series.

There doesn’t seem to be a downside so far to the creative solutions Dunn found for his situation during this challenging COVID19 situation.
