Sardula (May 4, 1991 – February 1, 1995) was an American Thoroughbred racemare who, as a two-year-old in 1993 finished second by a nose in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies then won the Grade 1 Hollywood Starlet Stakes.
[1] She was purchased for $40,000 by recording industry executive Jerry Moss and his wife Ann who turned over the somewhat high-strung filly's race conditioning to Brian Mayberry, a trainer widely respected for his ability and patience with temperamental young horses.
[7][8] Hoist the flag was the son of Tom Rolfe who won the 1965 Preakness Stakes and was voted that year's American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse.
[10] [11] Making her career debut on August 7, 1993 at Del Mar Racetrack under jockey Eddie Delahoussaye, the two-year-old Sardula ran away from the field to win by ten lengths.
[2] On September 4 at the same racetrack she won the Debutante Stakes defeating runner-up Phone Chatter who came back on November 6 to beat Sardula by a nose in the ensuing Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
