Three-time Group 1 winner U S Navy Flag (War Front) is on track for the A$13-million The Everest at Royal Randwick on Oct. 13, Racenet.com reported. The Aidan O'Brien trainee will represent Coolmore in the second edition of the 1200-metre race and is due to enter quarantine in early September. Last seen winning the July 14 G1 Darley July Cup at Newmarket, the 3-year-old is scheduled to have his final piece of work at the end of this month.
“US Navy Flag came out of the July Cup very well and is still on target for The Everest,” O'Brien told Racing NSW. “We are very happy with him. He had a tough first half of the season so we have given him a little break after the July Cup. The plan is for him to probably have a racecourse gallop as a lead up to The Everest and he will run in the race straight out of quarantine.”
