- Jockey predicted win before race
- Rode the UK champion to perfection
William Haggas-trained Lake Forest has won a thrilling Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens with Cieren Fallon in the saddle.
The UK-raider launched along the fence to defeat French horse Lazzat in a thrilling finish to the $10million race.
Fallon, son of former English champion hoop Kieren Fallon, had sent the field an ominous warning prior to the victory.
“He feels great and I think he has grown,” Fallon declared.
“He looks much better out here than he has done back home.
“Issy (Paul) has done a great job with him.”
