Melbourne Spring Odds: Sacred Falls Wins George Main Stakes
October 2nd, 2014 by Pom de TurfBy all accounts, Chris Waller could easily have come into the 2014 Spring Season with Sacred Falls in his stables, with his owners seriously considering taking him away from Racing. If they hadn’t decided to back Waller’s feeling that Sacred Falls was only getting better, then Waller would have been missing the other half of a fantastic cross-State double a couple of weekends ago, and there would have been a great prospect missing from the Racing odds for the rest of the Spring Season.
As it was, Sacred Falls and Foreteller delivered the goods for Waller within minutes of each other, and neither has done their reputations any harm at all. Particularly pleasing for Sacred Falls’ handlers was the way he took the George Main Stakes, winning it ahead of stablemate Royal Descent, coming through the field with a strong run to claim victory by more than a length. For Waller, it puts a few questions about Sacred Falls to rest, and sets him up for a potentially very exciting 2014 Melbourne Spring: ‘he could have been in the breeding barn but he’s here winning Group 1 races so it’s full credit to his owners. And it’s good to see him do it on a good track and prove he’s not just a wet tracker. It’s his fourth Group 1 win and they’ve all been over a mile but I think he’s going the right way to get 1m2f in the Cox Plate. One of his career-best runs was when he came second to It’s A Dundeel in the Queen Elizabeth. He’s bang-on for Moonee Valley.’
So whilst Waller basks in the glow of those two wins, and Sacred Falls’ owners congratulate themselves on a well-judged decision to keep him racing a little longer, we’ve got all the Racing odds for Sacred Falls for the Cox Plate and wherever else he might find himself…
