Sacred Falls Races Way Into World’s Top Ten
30 May 2014
Waikato Stud’s dual Gr 1 Doncaster Handicap winner Sacred Falls has raced his way into the top 10 on the ARF Racehorse Rankings for three-year-olds and upwards, which raced between January 1 and May 4, 2014. His exploits from Chris Waller’s Sydney stable have earned him a rating of 120 by the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings Committee.
The home-bred son of O’Reilly and the Redoute’s Choice mare Iguazu’s Girl began his career in sensational style from the Cambridge stable of Tony Pike and Mark Donoghue. He won his first six starts, culminating in the Gr 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas at Riccarton.
Sacred Falls is currently spelling after finishing runner-up in his last appearance in the Gr 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick. He will take his place on Waikato Stud’s stallion roster at the conclusion of his racing career.
