First Winner for Golden Archer

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 11

Raheen Stud's young sire Golden Archer posted his first winner at Eagle Farm on Wednesday with an impressive debut victory for Lady Lark.

Trained by Desleigh Forster, Lady Lark was far too good when cruising home to win the 1200 metre maiden by two and a quarter lengths.

Passed in when offered at the Magic Millions March Yearling Sale last year by Raheen Stud, Lady Lark is the first foal for metro winning Lonhro mare Vital, who is married to Golden Archer having been to him in each of her four seasons at stud.

A Group III winning son of Rock of Gibraltar (IRE), Golden Archer was a fast precocious two year-old in the Peter Moody stable and it's no surprise to see him with a smart juvenile out running.

From seven runners, he has had three place-getters and now Lady Lark to break the ice.

Golden Archer stands at a fee of $6,600 and has four entries for the Book Two session of the 2017 Magic Millions Yearling Sale.
