Saintly
Saintly was a champion
Australian thoroughbred racehorse. Foaled in 1992, he was bred and part-owned by legendary trainer
Bart Cummings. A son of Sky Chase from the
Sir Tristram mare All Grace he provided Cummings with his 10th victory in the
Melbourne Cup.Saintly was aptly named as it turned out and gained the moniker the ‘Horse from Heaven’ due to his name and his partnership with jockey Darren Beadman who at the time was a proclaimed born-again Christian who the following year announced his retirement to serve God.The winner of only one of his four two-year-old starts, Saintly then came across a vintage crop of three-year-olds in the 1995-96 season that included
Octagonal, Nothin’ Leica Dane and Filante. Despite narrow defeats by Octagonal in
STC Rosehill Guineas and the
AJC Derby, he still won five races including the
Group One VRC Australian Cup.
