Tatura-trainer Dean Boal will saddle up seven-year-old mare Beau Dazzle, who heads into the $50,000 The Hotham with the longest run of misses.

To be run over 1200m, the race has been established by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au as a light-hearted competition to the $10million The Everest, which will be run on Saturday in Sydney.

The field of 12 (plus four emergencies) was settled by reverse ballot, with the worst performed horses getting a run.

Those 12 gallopers have run a combined total of 326 races without a win.

More than 150 nominations were received for what is Victoria’s richest maiden race.

Group 1-winning jockeys Dean Yendall and Noel Callow are among those already booked to ride.

Thursday’s race is set to jump at 3pm.
