Smart Effort from Sacred Falls Colt

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday September 11

A well-related Sacred Falls youngster impressed in his first trial outing at Ashburton yesterday.

Sacred Falls colt from J'LoTrained by Lance Robinson, the two-year-old won his 600 metre heat under Jacob Lowry.

A $60,000 Karaka Book One purchase from the Waikato Stud draft, he is out of the Unbridled's Song mare J'Lo, who has enjoyed a fine career at stud.  She is the dam of the Gr.3 Desert Gold Stakes winner and Gr.3 Sir Tristram Fillies' Classic runner-up Glamorous Girl.
