Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Monday Nov 14

New Zealand’s flagship sire Savabeel currently has pride of place at the head of the Australian General Sires List by earnings with his 11 entries for the NZB Ready to Run Sale this week on November 16 and 17 sure to be in hot demand.

The Savabeel consignment features some outstanding prospects bred on some of the most successful nicks for their champion sire.

$10million Golden Eagle winner I Wish I Win is one of 17 stakes-winners for Savabeel bred from daughters of Pins with the nick producing 13% SW to runner.

Savabeel colt from Daisy Chain - Lot 65

There is one entry for the Ready to Run bred this way and it’s Lot 65 from Ohukia Lodge, a Savabeel colt from Pins mare Daisy Chain. He is from a daughter of Champion NZ 3YO Daffodil and is closely related to recent Group II VRC Matriarch Stakes winner Atishu.

Even more productive is the Savabeel x O’Reilly nick which has produced 23 stakes-winners, seven of them Group I winners and there are three entries bred this way.

Lot 72 from Dormello Stud is a colt, the first foal from Donna Imelda, a winning daughter of stakes-winner Donna Cattiva, a full sister to Group I winner Il Quello Veloce.

This is the family of Group I winning sprinters Terravista  and Tiger Tees, so a real mix of speed and stamina.

Lot 76 from Riversley Park is the full brother to stakes-winner Shezzacatch from Elusive Nature.

Closely related to Group I placed Savvy Dreams.

Lot 166 from Ohukia Lodges is a brother-in-blood to Group III winner Love Affair from good producer Maxmara.

From a sibling to Group III winner Somepin Anypin and stakes-winners Rules of Engagement and Salsa.
