Owners of I AM ME are delighted to announce their mare has been chosen by ARROWFIELD STUD and THE STAR ENTERTAINMENT GROUP to represent their slot in The TAB Everest, on Saturday, October 19.

ownership team are extremely proud of the mares’ achievements under the

I AM ME winning the $2m Sydney S., Gr3 1200m
From 23 starts, I AM ME has an impeccable record of 11 Wins and 5 placings, earning an overall prize money amount of $3,689,850.
A winner of 5 stakes races, I AM ME will head straight into The TAB Everest, after tremendous victories in both her starts this preparation, including the $1m Gr3 Concorde and the $1m Gr2 The Shorts.
I AM ME also holds victories in last year’s $2m Gr3 Sydney S., (1200m) alongside winning the Gr2 Missile S., (1200m) at Rosehill. I AM ME is the current track-record holder at Canterbury over 1200m when winning the Canterbury Sprint LR and is also a 5-time Gr1 performer. She is undefeated at Royal Randwick from 1000m to 1200m.
We have been honoured that our industry’s leader, Arrowfield Stud, in partnership with The Star Entertainment Group, have selected our mare amongst many worthwhile candidates.
I AM ME has come through her last start victory extremely well and will arrive at The TAB Everest third-up for her preparation which historically has seen her peak performances.
It is also with great delight that we confirm NASH RAWILLER has been booked for the ride.
Nash Rawiller & I AM ME
In winning the Concorde and The Shorts, I AM ME has competed in the first two legs of the Sydney Sprint Series and has a maximum 10 points which is 6 points clear of her nearest rivals. The TAB Everest is also a leg of this Series. The Series carries a $1m bonus for the leading point scorer.
I AM ME has already seen her owners “living the dream” of racehorse ownership. Now, courtesy of ARROWFIELD STUD and THE STAR ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, the mare will take her owners journey to the pinnacle of our sport, having earned her position in the field for The TAB Everest to compete for an amazing $20m in prizemoney.
