Karaka Ready to Run purchase Ceolwulf charges to victory in the Epsom Handicap.Sydney trainer Joe Pride and Kiwi owner Leighton Howl have made relatively rare appearances at Karaka’s Ready to Run Sale and even fewer in tandem, but their joint purchase from the 2022 edition of the sale has taken them to Group One heights.
Ceolwulf stamped himself as a bright young talent with second placings in the Gr. 1 Rosehill Guineas and Australian Derby last autumn, and his reputation has soared even higher since then. The four-year-old produced a scintillating finish reminiscent of his own sire Tavistock in his racing days, charging home from the back of the field to win Saturday’s time-honoured Gr. 1 Epsom Handicap at Randwick.
