About

Sacred Day is an 11yo bay gelding trained by Tony Pike. He is by Azamour out of Top of the Day. As a stakes winner with $166,287 in earnings, he is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 11 Jul 2019 at Grafton, Ben Looker rode Sacred Day to his biggest victory, winning the $160,000 Grafton Cup over Sopressa. He has been a money‑making performer for punters; backing him throughout his career would have returned about 16% ROI. Sacred Day retired after his final start on 13 Nov 2019 at Riccarton Park.
