As promised, I wanted to chat about the
next race in the Breeders’Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series. I know this is not new information, but I am familiarizing myself with the horses who are automatically made eligible to the Breeders' Cup by winning one of these races. So if you haven't been following this series, this will be new information for you.
The last race I talked about was the
T.J.Smith Stakes which was won by the amazing mare Black Caviar. The next race
in the series, the BMW Doncaster Mile G1, was also run over the course at
Randwick, Australia on April 20, 2013. Sacred Falls the ultimate winner of the
race was a long shot, after having come off a disappointing series of losses.
He faced a huge field of seventeen other
horses, thirteen of which were Group 1 winners, and included the brilliant colt
Pierro.
Sacred Falls, a New Zealand bred
three-year-old colt, broke well and was soon forced back to last place in the
huge field. Tommy Berry his jockey, controlled his mount well, and in the
stretch threaded a very tight needle indeed, to win through for the victory and
the two million dollar purse. When hooked, the much lauded Pierro hung on gamely
but was outmatched on the wet ground.
I haven’t seen any other races for Sacred
Falls, but it would be great if his connections showed up with him in the fall
for the big day of racing at the Breeders Cup.
If anybody has news about this horse, let me
know and I will pass it on to all the other readers.
Take care,
Shelley

4. After his six wins in New Zealand, we decided to send him to race in Australia. He had 4 starts in Australia and only won his final goal which is Gr.1 Doncaster Mile. He also ran second in the Gr.1 Randwick Guineas.
Sorry to inform you that he is not going for the Breeders Cup because he will be racing in Australia for the Spring Carnival.
