Sacred Eye as a yearling

Sacred Eye as a yearling

Prepared by David Hayes and Tom Dabernig, Sacred Eye enjoyed a good run from gate three and powered away to win the 1300 metre maiden by more than three lengths as favourite.

Entered for the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas, Sacred Eye is a filly with the potential to run further than that with the VRC Oaks seeming an obvious goal.

A $270,000 Magic Millions purchase for BBA Ireland from the Coolmore draft, Sacred Eye is the second winner for royally bred Group III winning Rock of Gibraltar (IRE) mare Musidora.

Musidora is a grand-daughter of influential stakes-winner Grand Luxe, whose many superior descendants include the likes of champion sires Flying Spur and Encosta de Lago as well as recent European Group I winner Erupt.

Musidora has a yearling filly by Pierro and will foal again to him this spring.
