Richly-bred colt stars at trials
A well-related Sacred Falls two-year-old is showing that he has inherited a good measure of the family ability.
The colt made his first trial appearance at Avondale this week and won his 800-metre heat in a tidy fashion.

She is a sister to the Gr.3 Lion Reed Plate winner Crepe De Chine and the prolific family of dual Group One winner Glamour Puss.
