Sacred Falls makes his presence felt at Magics
WS have been delighted with the rousing reception of a pair of Sacred Falls youngsters received in Australia.
Through Sledmere Stud’s draft, Waikato Stud offered two home-breds by multiple Group One winner Sacred Falls during the Magic Millions Sale on the Gold Coast this week.
First through the ring was a colt who was knocked down for A$140,000 to the joint bid of Cumani Racing, AUS and Boomer Bloodstock International. He is out of Miss Caruso, a Pins mare who won five races.
Her only foal to race is Slam Bam, a daughter of the late O’Reilly who has won twice. They are from the family of the home-bred Kinjite (Centaine), who was successful three times at Group One level.
WS’s Sacred Falls filly caught the eye of leading trainer Phillip Stokes Racing, who went to A$120,000 to secure her. She is a half-sister to two winners, their mother being the Savabeel mare Promenade with the dual Group One winner Legs (Pins) a highlight on the pedigree page.
WS will be offering 21 yearlings by the hugely popular Sacred Falls during the Book 1 Sale that opens at Karaka later this month.
A huge thank you to those who supported us and shopped from the WS offerings.
The Corner with Garry Chittick
The writing of my Corner started many years ago, motivated by an irritation that I felt needed scratching.

It is both disappointing and ironical that what should be a simple, straightforward business provides a regular need for comment.
