Sacred Falls filly too slick
A daughter of Sacred Falls trained by Roger James and Robert Wellwood impressed at today’s Cambridge trials.
Love Struck was settled in behind the leaders by Ryan Elliot before he angled her wide into the straight.
The two-year-old showed a smart turn of foot down the outside for an effortless victory over 800 metres.

It’s the family of the former champion juvenile Katana, dam of the North American Group Two winner Broken Sword.
