A barnstorming run into second place last Saturday in the Group II ATC The Shorts has seen the Bjorn Baker trained four year-old All Too Hard mare Stefi Magnetica selected for a slot in this year’s Everest with last year’s winning slot holders Newgate and GPI Racing moving to secure the Group I Stradbroke winner.

Newgate and GPI Racing won last year Stradbroke winner Think About It, so are following a proven formula for success.

 

Stefi Magnetica is likely to go straight into The Everest on the fresh side with a trial in between to keep her up to the mark.
