Giga Kick has provided an incredible shock in The Everest, running down and passing odds-on favourite Nature Strip to claim the $6.2m first prize before a packed house at Royal Randwick on Saturday.
Nature Strip, the defending champion, looked every bit the winner until the final 100m when Giga Kick and Private Eye both surged past Chris Waller’s star.
