Trainer confident Everyone’s A Star can go distance after breakthrough win

Trainer Marc Chevalier sees no reason why in-form mare Everyone’s A Star can’t continue on her upward trajectory and consolidate on a last-start win at Kensington today.

The Hawkesbury trainer had initially thought she was limited with her distance range but he has no such worries going into the Bivouac First Yearlings Handicap (1150m).

Everyone’s A Star recorded her first win beyond 1000m two weeks ago and it gave the stable confidence in her constitution.

“She’s been great for us and she looks like she’s got a bit of improvement in her which is very exciting,” Chevalier said.

“She’s getting stronger and she settles better in her races, she can over-race a little bit and I think the other day she was very good.

“She’s learning not to burn too much petrol early on and that’s why we’re not worried any more about going up in trip; I used to think she was a 1000m horse.

“We’re going for a very similar race and we think she will run a good race again.”

Chevalier, who has 16 in work at Hawkesbury, said he has his eye on a Midway race for Everyone’s A Star in about a month and given Wednesday is her eighth run this preparation he’s likely to freshen her up regardless of the result.

He’s hoping Tyler Schiller can replicate his winning ride from a fortnight ago where he offset an awkward alley quickly to have her in a striking position, something even more important this time around as she rises 2kg.
