The excitement at Godolphin had barely died down following the imperious performance of Bivouac in the Group 1 Darley Sprint at Flemington when the royal blue struck again with the grand Street Cry (IRE) mare Savatiano in the Group II Hyland Race Colours Hot Danish Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill.
Savatiano raced at the highest level in five runs in the autumn and she didn’t disgrace herself in any of them, so her battling win in Saturday’s Group II PB Lawrence Stakes at Caulfield was well-deserved.
