Overpass confirmed for Everest as Newgate locks in ‘tough’ sprinter

The Bjorn Baker trained Overpass has been locked in for his third tilt at the Everest, with Newgate confirming the sprinter is their runner for this year’s $20 million race.

Newgate’s Henry Field says the decision was based on his track record of being a “tough and consistent” sprinter.

“He’s unbelievable first up … every preparation he’s basically either won or run second in big races against good horses,” Mr Field said.
