Damien Oliver to ride Sacred Falls in George Ryder

13 March 2015

Four-time Gr.1 winner Falls will have a new rider in the Gr.1 George Ryder Stakes on March 21.

A new jockey was needed as Hong Kong-based Zac Purton, the regular rider of Sacred Falls in G1 races over the last two seasons, will not be riding in Sydney on Saturday week.

His replacement in the George Ryder will be Damien Oliver but expect Purton to be back on board is Sacred Falls goes for a historic third win in The Star Doncaster on April 4 on his way to the Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes on April 11.
