Saachi

Saachi was purchased at the record breaking Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up sale at Newmarket in April 2023 and is by first season sire, Advertise, a former European champion sprinter, by the pacy Showcasing and the winner of no less than THREE Group One’s including the Phoenix Stakes (Gp 1), as a 2yo and the Commonwealth Cup (Gp 1) at Royal Ascot, as a three year old.

Out of a nice Shamardal mare, Beautiful Gesture who, herself, cost over 100,000 Guineas as a yearling and was trained by Karl Burke though unfortunately, after being placed at Newmarket on debut, she suffered an injury and was eventually retired to stud. She is from a prolific family and a sister to no less than SEVEN winners including black type performers, Pleasure Gains and Sarinda who, herself, was the dam of Tom Clover’s Listed placed, Zain Sarinda.

Saachi, himself, has always been a big, strong, robust sort who has unlimited potential but has never stopped growing and after a promising debut as a 2yo and then a couple of placed efforts early in his 3yo career, he went a little weak as he approached his ‘teenage’ years. The old adage of the ‘gangly teenager’ sprung to mind when describing him but as he moves into his 4yo career, we have given him that little bit of time he undoubtedly required just to strengthen and mature and his trainer Harry Eustace is looking forward to getting that improvement from him in the coming season. Now off a very lenient handicap mark, we’ll be looking to take advantage of that..and staying ahead of it as Saachi progresses and improves through the year.

His career to date…

His first run of 2024, over 7f at Chelmsford showed Saachi had learned a lot from that first run and, apart from winning the award for the best turned out and why wouldn’t he, he really is a stunning beast, he ran with great credit again beaten only a head and a neck off third on a track that didn’t necessarily play to his strengths. We went back there for his third run and duly qualified for a handicap mark. Getting into the minor prizemoney on a couple of occasions thereafter was a clear indication of his promise but after going a little weak on us as indicated above, he has been put away for the Winter and we’re expecting this powerhouse of a horse who has a great attitude to his work while being remarkably relaxed, is something to look forward to in the new season.

We are very excited by Saachi who has been given plenty of time to develop into his frame and now having furthered his education as a 3yo, he will be teed up by Harry, hopefully, to follow in the footsteps of our other inmate there, Mustazeed, now a winner of five. Like many of the first crop of Advertise, he has needed that time and we’re all looking forward eagerly to his next start.
