Sacred Capital (J Lau)

Sacred Capital was Macau’s boom horse last season rising from an initial post-import mark of 65 to his present Macau rating of 125. The five-year-old has won six from 11 starts at distances from 1200m to 1800m. His big-race wins include the SJM Macau Derby, the Macau Gold Cup and the Macau 30th Anniversary Cup. The O’Reilly gelding turned in a grand performance in the G3 Sa Sa Ladies Purse back in November coming from the tail of the field, to run fourth only beaten two lengths behind Southern Legend. Sacred Capital has only raced once since his return from Hong Kong and that was in a Class 1 over 1350m on 7 December 2019, when he powered home late for second behind all-weather star Hostwin Meraki only beaten three quarters of a length. Versatile in style of running, no ground worries.
