"He got the record and he's good and fine after the race,@ reported Butler. "We'll assess him during the week, give him a few easy days and make a plan from there. There are races for him. The handicapper will have a say on Tuesday, and we'll see which bracket he is in, but if he's OK there is every possibility he might run again,@ Butler added. Bred by Juddmonte Farms, Stand Guard raced only once for Khalid Abdullah and Sir Michael Stoute before being sold at Tattersalls in 2007 for 22,000gns. Since then he has had six different trainers over an 83 race career and his victory on Saturday was his 17th for Butler.

Endearing himself to the task on Saturday, Sacred Falls demonstrated a gritty Gr.1 will to win. The handsome 3YO settled in the last three before improving wide to have the leaders within sights on straightening. Finding plenty when called upon, the colt dug deep to fend off the game filly Oasis Rose by a head margin at the line, with last season’s champion juvenile Warhorse finishing a neck away in third. “He’s always had the temperament and ability to be a top liner,” said Cambridge co-trainer Tony Pike after the race. “He just finds a way to win races.” “Leith (Innes) rode him like he was the best horse and got him out and going early. He had a real fight on his hands but he’s a very good horse.” Sacred Falls - who will now be spelled for 6 weeks or so, represents the 13th Gr.1 winner for his sire O'Reilly and is the 27th Gr.1 champion bred by Waikato Stud.
