Sacred Elixir could start in Cox PlateTertius PickardRising three-year-old Sacred Elixir could earn himself a crack at the best weight-for-age performers in Australasia in the spring. "He will kick off in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude on September 24, that's obviously a nice race to get him ready for the Caulfield Guineas," the Cambridge trainer said. "Unfortunately, Zac will be tied up in Hong Kong and he can't ride Sacred Elixir in the Caulfield Guineas," he said. Pike also confirmed that Sacred Elixir would remain in his care until at least the end of this season. "Then we will decide what path we take – the VRC Derby or if he was to be really dominant in the Caulfield Guineas we could consider the Cox Plate, it will just depend how he is going."
