gavelhouse.com graduate Sacred Edge the gift that keeps on giving

Breednet - Friday March 2
gavelhouse,com graduate Sacred Edge scored his most significant win to date at Newcastle on Thursday, winning the $30,000 Newcastle 1600m Handicap for his Warwick Farm-based trainer Clare Cunningham.

Sacred Edge and Clare CunninghamWinning by a head, Sacred Edge was ridden by Cunningham's partner Jason Collett who ensured the former Chris Waller-trained galloper jump well from barrier three. The consistent gelding settled quickly and knuckled down at the 600m-mark to work his way around the leader and take the victory.

Bought online in September for $23,000, Sacred Edge has proven to be the gift that keeps on giving for Cunningham and connections with his three wins, a third and fourth placing from his five starts in the stable taking his total earnings to $42,470 since his purchase.

Sacred Edge's win comes off the back of two winners last weekend for gavelhouse.com graduates with $18,000 buy Chez Dumonet winning at Pinjarra and $1,050 buy Ballina Bay at Nanango.

Entries for the next fortnightly gavelhouse.com Australia auction close on Monday at 7pm with the team available to help you list your horse via info@gavelhouse.com or call +61 3 9614 4882
