Sacred Falls’ brother lights up ring
A brother to the multiple Group One winner Sacred Falls was a hot lot at the recent Hong Kong International Sale.
The Waikato Stud graduate equalled the auction’s top price when he changed hands for $1.3 million.
He had originally been purchased out of the Matamata farm’s draft to Karaka in 2017 for $300,000 by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

She has also produced the stakes winners Shopaholic, Splurge and Packing Pins.
