The inaugural success of the Pegasus World Cup quickly gave birth to its Southern Hemisphere counterpart, the Everest at Royal Randwick October 14. Vicky Leonard tells us that the biggest hurdle for first-time visitors just might be the language, from smashed avo to snags. Her Sydney primer is a gem. Back home in the USA, we visit Siena Farm in Kentucky and meet co-owners Anthony Manganaro and Ignacio “Nacho” Patino, who emphasize modern technology and thinking outside the box. Out in San Diego, celebrity chef Brian Malarkey, whose Herb and Wood is the year's new smash restaurant, is getting ready to cook for the Breeders' Cup crowd (and when was the last time you met a celebrity chef who's a former racetrack photographer?) In Newmarket, John Berry gives you the skinny on taking in two QIPCO Champions' days, plus the Tattersalls sale in between. And finally, the NBA's Rashard Lewis talks racehorse ownership, and who he was surprised to run into at Saratoga. Visit www.tdnweekend.com to read the September TDN Weekend.
