One to Watch – Seymour

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Feb 3

She was the highest priced Cool Aza Beel yearling right up until Magic Millions this year when her record was pushed aside and promising filly Azzacool broke the ice at her second start at Seymour on Tuesday.

Trained by Ciaron Maher and ridden by Robert Whearty, Azzacool was having her second race start following a debut fourth over 1000m last month and appreciated the step to 1200m to score by three-quarters of a length.

She swept home  down the centre of the track doing her best work on the line.

A $280,000 Magic Millions purchase from Newhaven Park for her trainer, Azzacool runs for a big syndicate of stable clients.

Azzacool was a $280,000 Magic Millions purchase.

Bred by Newhaven Park, she is a half-sister to Group winner Lavish Girl and is the third winner from three foals to race from Ends in Tears, a winning half-sister by Snitzel to Group II placed Snogging from the family of four time Group I winner El Vencedor and Group II winner Hadabeclorka.

Newhaven Park will offer the half-brother  by Justify (USA) to Azzacool at Inglis Easter as Lot 291.

Ends in Tears produced a colt last spring by another of the Newhaven Park sires in Mo’Unga and was then sent back  to Cool Aza Beel.

The stocks of Cool Aza Beel have been on the rise since the emergence of his Group I winning colt Cool Archie and at Magic Millions he set a new personal best in the sale ring when his colt from Mietta sold for $320,000.

Cool Aza Beel has 10 entries for Inglis Classic and eight of them will be offered by Newhaven Park.
