Seven-year-old mare Bella Nipotina has won the the world’s richest race on turf, the $20 million Everest 1200-metre sprint at Royal Randwick with a sensational late burst.
Ridden by Craig Williams and trained by Ciaron Maher, Bella Nipotina raced wide on the pace and finished strongly in the straight to win narrowly from 2022 winner Giga Kick. Third home was Growing Empire, with Lady Of Camelot fourth.
