Sagamix

Having been unraced as a two-year-old, Sagamix made his debut in the Prix Hippolyte over 2400 metres at Saint-Cloud Racecourse in March and won comfortably by three quarters of a length.

[3] Sagamix was off the course for almost five months after his win at Longchamp, but his form was boosted when Dream Well won both the Prix du Jockey Club and the Irish Derby.

His opponents included Dream Well and Croco Rouge, first and second in the Prix du Jockey Club and the Derby Italiano winner Central Park.

On his only other race of 1999 he finished fourth behind the Japanese challenger El Condor Pasa in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud in July.

On his first appearance for Godolphin, Sagamix finished ninth of the sixteen runners behind Fantastic Light in the Dubai Sheema Classic, beaten seventeen lengths.
