About

Saracen Knight is a 10yo bay gelding from Ireland trained by Danny O'Brien. He is sired by the stallion Camelot out of the dam Za'Hara. With a Group Two level win and career earnings of $538,400, Saracen Knight is considered a highly talented racehorse. On 8th Oct 2022 at Caulfield, Saracen Knight, ridden by Jamie Melham, secured his most notable victory in the $300,000 Herbert Power Stakes, defeating Makram. He has been a lucrative choice for bettors throughout his career. Backing Saracen Knight consistently would have yielded a 6% return on investment.
