JHB conquers The Everest for the second time

In front a record crowd in excess of 46,000, Giga Kick delivered a sensational performance to defeat the best sprinters in the world and remain unbeaten, running in the James Harron Bloodstock slot.

After months of watching the sprint division closely, we honed in on Giga Kick given his ‘x-factor’ as an unbeaten 3YO, and after his close win in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes we secured a deal with his owner Jonathan Munz to have Giga Kick run in the James Harron Bloodstock slot in the 2022 running of The Everest.

On the day Giga Kick missed the start by half a length, which could prove to be very costly against this calibre of rivals, but jockey Craig Williams did not panic, getting Giga Kick into a lovely rhythm, and pulling out into the clear in the straight to run down Private Eye in the shadows of the post.

A huge congratulations to the investors behind our slot, Belinda Bateman, Phil & Glenda Mehrten, Rob Love, Fergus Doyle, John & Frances Ingham, Danny & Pauline Saab and Gary Diamond. Big thanks and congratulations to Giga’ Kick’s trainer, 27yo Clayton Douglas, and to his owner Jonathan Munz.
