About

Saracen Knight is a 10yo bay gelding (male) from Ireland trained by Danny O'Brien, who is based at Flemington. He is sired by the stallion Camelot out of the dam Za'Hara. Given that he has won at Group Two level and has amassed $538,400 in career earnings, Saracen Knight is regarded as a very talented racehorse. On 8th Oct 2022 at Caulfield, Saracen Knight was ridden by Jamie Melham and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $300000 Herbert Power Stakes, defeating Makram. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Saracen Knight throughout his career you'd have achieved a 6% return on investment.
