    She's by Street Cry who was the sire of Shocking...a previous Melbourne Cup winner. Her female side is obscure, she's out of an Al Akbar mare, a breed I can't tell you anything about. She did get beaten in the AJC Oaks in 2015, but that was a bit misleading because she was on the wrong side of a severely biased track. Moreira rode her that day and copped a fair bit of flack over it. She later won the Qld Oaks looking like Bernborough. I can't see a problem at 2 miles. Saintly came to prominence as a miler then springboarded off a Cox Plate win into a Melbourne Cup and won as easy as you like. Nobody wanted to ride Jeune when he won because of fears he couldn't stay. She'd jog in behind the leaders for the first 2800m then give them windburn when the brakes were released.
