A patient approach to the Golden Eagle has paid off for an empathetic and thankful Chad Schofield, who hopes to make the most of his Everest momentum on Saturday with three feature pick-up rides at Randwick.

Schofield was the major beneficiary of Kerrin McEvoy missing the Randwick program through an eight-meeting suspension for breaching whip rules on Geelong Cup runner-up Small Fry. McEvoy used the whip three times more than permitted before the last 100m and failed to have the ban reduced on appeal, despite having an excellent record. He returns for Tuesday’s Big Dance card at Randwick.
