One to Watch – Randwick Trials

Tara Madgwick - Friday August 1
Lonhro finished 2013/ 2014 as the leading sire of Australian winners setting a new record with his tally of 159 and among them was one winner who promises to be a spring star for Godolphin.

Sarajevo pictured at the recent Darley media conferenceMuch hyped colt Sarajevo was given a little send along at the Randwick trials on Friday morning, stretching his legs to win a strong 840 metre trial featuring numerous stakes horses by a length and a half in 49.76 seconds.

Prepared by John O'Shea and ridden by James McDonald, Sarajevo looks to be primed for his return with the Group I ATC Golden Rose an obvious early target.

Sarajevo looked well above average at his only run when winning easily at Randwick back in April and has only to run up to his looks and impressive international pedigree to become a star!

A half-brother to minor stakes-winner Ludka, Sarajevo is from the unraced Danehill mare Laleta (IRE), a half-sister to Group I Irish Oaks winner Lailani.
