SAFFIE OSBORNE RIDES THE APTLY NAMED AMAZING JOURNEY IN THE $!0 MILLION GOLDEN EAGLE

By Graham Potter | Wednesday, October 28, 2026

Racegoers at Royal Randwick on Saturday will get a front row seat to watch Saffie Osborne in action. Osborne created history by becoming the first woman to win a British Classic when she saluted aboard the Joseph O’Brien trained Highwayman in the St Leger at Doncaster in September.

Amongst others, Osborne has a Group 1 ride in the $10 million Golden Eagle where she will partner the Ciaron Maher trained import Amazing Journey who will be having his first start in Australia in the big race.

And no, Osborne is not taking anyone else’s ride. It’s her ride … as she has partnered Amazing Journey in eight of his eleven starts in England (where the horse was trained by Jamie Osborne, Staffie’s father), including in Amazing Journey’s last start win over 1409m at Ascot on July 25.

In all, Osborne has landed three wins to date on the son of Starspangledbanner.

“I think the biggest asset this horse has got is he has so much speed, but I think he will be an even a better horse when he goes over a mile,” said Osborne, speaking on Racing HQ (Sky Channel).

“This race is over seven-and-a-half furlongs, but I know he is going to see out the trip very well, but he has just got a wicked turn of foot as well.
