Sacred Kingdom

This great sprinter has been retired. His connections made the decision last night to bring down the curtain on a career that saw Sacred Kingdom named the world's top turf sprinter for three years in a row from 2007 to 2009 and the gelding was recently listed on the world thoroughbred rankings for the fifth successive year. Sacred Kingdom, who amassed HK$45.8 million in stakes winning 17 of his 36 starts, would likely be returned to live out his days in Australia, where he was born.
