huge emotion as trainer ends eight-year drought
Jeff Sadik trained his first winner since 2014 on Saturday evening. Bawaader started 7-2 second favourite for the mile classified stakes under Josephine Gordon and ran out a seven-length winner. Sadie lost his son to cancer three years ago and he has been having treatment for bladder cancer. He has also been to hospital with Covid and his lungs damaged. He had his most recent winner in a 2m1½f handicap chase at Bangor on July 22, 2014. It had been almost 13 years since he had tasted success on the Flat, when Highland River landed a 1m3f all-weather handicaps at Southwell on January 21, 2010.
