About
Sabaj is a 5yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr at Rosehill. He is by Manhattan Rain out of Bouzy. As a stakes winner with $791,645 in earnings, Sabaj is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 22 Nov 2025 at Cranbourne, Beau Mertens rode him to his biggest triumph, winning the $500,000 Cranbourne Cup over Enxuto. He has consistently been a profitable horse for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 6% return on investment.
