Can anyone stop Ka Ying Rising in The Everest 2026? Hong Kong’s superstar returns to Royal Randwick to defend his crown, and The Quaddie Poddy breaks down whether Zac Purton and David Hayes can claim back-to-back wins in the $20 million sprint.
Ka Ying Rising dominates our Everest preview as we assess his form, preparation, barrier draw and the prospect of a rain-affected track. Does barrier 11 give his rivals a chance, or will the defending champion prove too good again?
We look at the biggest threats, including Tempted, analyse the Everest field and speed map, and share our tips, predictions and value selections. Is there a genuine case for an upset, or are we all just trying to find what finishes second?
Expect plenty of Ka Ying Rising chat, strong opinions and the usual Quaddie Poddy carry-on as we preview one of Australian racing’s biggest days.
