ABOUT THE SIRE


SAVABEEL

NEW ZEALAND’S STAKES PRODUCING PHENOMENON


17 Gr1 Winners and 76 individual Stakes Winners from 10 crops to race proudly demonstrate SAVABEEL’s ability as a stakes producing phenomenon.

In fact, in the history of New Zealand’s greatest ever sires, Savabeel is statistically THE BEST -

Better than his own mighty sire ZABEEL and better than his legendary grandsire SIR TRISTRAM - by siring more stakes winners at the equivalent stage of their 3 careers.

Waikato Stud is New Zealand’s Premier Thoroughbred nursery, internationally-renowned for its award-winning breeding, rearing and development of elite racehorses.

Cox Plate winner Savabeel has become the stallion premiership supremo.

New Zealand’s Leading Sire - He is a:

Four-time Champion New Zealand Sire,

Two-time winner of the Champion New Zealand Sire for Australasian Success title

Twice Leading Champion New Zealand Sire for Global Earnings.

2017/18 achievements included a repeat clean sweep of New Zealand’s major sire awards and the distinction of being New Zealand’s leading sire for:

(a) Group One wins, (b) progeny earnings and (c) stakes winners.

Commenced stud duties in New Zealand in 2005

Champion NZ Sire in 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, second in 2012-13, third in 2013-14.

Leading NZ Sire (Aust. & NZ figures combined) in 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18.

Leading NZ Sire (worldwide) in 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18.

Leading NZ Sire by Winners 2016-17, 2017-18.

As at 15/10/18, Savabeel’s 76 Individual Stakes Winners exceeds his own sire, the legendary Zabeel’s tally at the same time in his career and is highlighted by his 17 Group One Winners:

Lucia Valentina, Kawi, Hall of Fame, Sangster, Sound Proposition, Soriano, Savaria, Costume, Diademe, Scarlett Lady, Brambles, Pasadena Girl, Shillelagh, Embellish and Hasahalo.

Savabeel is one of just two Australasian sires to achieve the phenomenal stakes winners-to-runners ratio of over 10%.

His staggering versatility as a sire means that his progeny dominates at stakes level across the full spectrum of race distances and at ages from two right through to eight.

Impressive returns across Australasia’s 2018 yearling sales:

71 yearlings by Savabeel have sold for up to $1,025,000 for an average of $263,873 and 70 of these yearlings realised more than $100,000.

There has been a strong demand for older stock, with three-year-old’s selling for up to $756,000 at the Hong Kong International Sale and two of Savabeel’s daughters sold for more than $1 million at the 2017 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.


AUSTRALASIAN BENCHMARK

On the basis of Australasia’s leading stakes producers, Savabeel currently features as the Number One sire thanks to his outstanding 10.1% lifetime Stakes Winners-to-Runners ratio.

DURABLE CLASSIC-CUPS HORSES

New Zealand’s number one source for Classic-Cups horses of the future.

WIDESPREAD EXCELLENCE

From his crops to race, his 76 individual Stakes Winners have excelled at an array of ages and distances.

Whilst best known for his G1 Classic winners, SAVABEEL has been strongly represented by Cups horses, Black-type Milers, Middle Distance stars and Stakes Winning 2YO’s.

SAVABEEL – His Story   

SAVABEEL in Brief :

Cox Plate victor and Australia’s highest rated 3yo. 

 
Sire = Zabeel  /  Dam = Savannah Success

The immaculately bred Savabeel became just the second 3yo in the previous 20 years to win the W.S. Cox Plate.

Subsequently, Savabeel was the highest IFHA rated 3yo in Australia in 2004/05, rating in front of horses such as Fastnet Rock, Charge Forward and Alinghi. He was also credited with the Group 1 AJC Spring Champion Stakes (2000m), retiring with earnings of $2,760,460.

His dam Savannah Success achieved Group 1 glory in both the NZ Oaks and the Ansett Australia Stakes (now Coolmore Classic).

She was crowned New Zealand Bloodstock Filly of the Year.

SAVABEEL Brown Entire 16.1hh (Zabeel / Savannah Success)

The spring of 2004 saw the outstanding colt Savabeel (Zabeel ex Savannah Success, by Success Express) dominate the race track with first - a win over his own age group in the Spring Champion Stakes (Group I) at Randwick and then - a stunning victory in the weight-for-age W. S. Cox Plate (Group I) at Moonee Valley, over the older horses.

Savabeel won Australasia’s greatest race, the classic weight-for-age race of the Australasian spring by 1L proving his class over a field of proven Group I performers.

Defeating a field consisting of 10 individual Group 1 winners, it was a dominating effort by the young colt who went onto run a gallant second in the VRC Victoria Derby Group 1 at Flemington a week later.

The only three-year-olds in the last 20 years to succeed in winning the testing 2040m of the WFA Championship event have been Zabeel’s champion of 1996 Octagonal, and now in 2004 Savabeel.

The History of SAVABEEL

From the very beginning the team around SAVABEEL had a driving belief that the stunning dark brown (almost black) colt catalogued as Lot 130 at the Magic Millions Sales of 2003, had an aura about him that could deliver greatness.

 SAVABEEL - As a Yearling at the Magic Millions Sales in 2003

Whether it was his stunning looks, his ideal conformation, they way he walked or even the way he stood and looked at you - there was something special in the colt.

Having been expertly raised on the superb pastures of Baramul Stud and being presented at the sale yards in immaculate condition, this was the colt they we had to take home.

The colts dam Savannah Success was a most gifted filly and we were adamant she could produce a superstar. Savannah Success’s race form backed up our opinion. Savannah Success was a race filly that won 8 races (6 in a row) from 1100m to 2400m. Included in her triumphs were two Group 1 victories at 1500m and 2400m, two Group 2 victories, a Group 3 victory and two Listed Races to her credit.

After a hotly contested bidding war in the ring, the hammer came down on a bid at $400,000.

Within 48 hours Dean Watt had syndicated the colt around the Rogerson stables in Sydney. Sold mostly to Dean’s loyal client who backed Dean’s judgement in what we saw in the colt.

A private syndicate of 5 was created to race the stunning colt which they named SAVABEEL.

From the time the breakers completed their task, the buzz on the colt was terrific.

I believed that the colt was a precocious individual on type with the genetics in the pedigree to back up his awesome conformation.

Also we have belief in Sir Patrick Hogan of Cambridge Stud’s theory on Zabeel progeny – That is “despite being at their best as a 3yo and 4yo, Zabeel’s stock needed to work along as 2yo’s.”

SAVABEEL’S 2yo Career

So with this in mind the colt went into work with the view of taking him to the first set of 2yo trials of the season at Canterbury.

He lined up in heat 4 and ran a gallant second over 850m in the fastest time of the morning. At the time, we commented that “the horse that won the heat must have been special to beat Savabeel” We didn’t know it then but that colt turned out to be Dance Hero !

Savabeel was sent for a spell and then commenced his racing career on Valentine’s Day 14 February 2004 at Saturday meeting at Randwick over 1000m.

The colt got back to last in the field but stormed home to win by an authoritative 4.5 lengths eased up.

Savabeel finished his 2yo season running a gallant 3^rd to Dance Hero and Wager in the Group 1 AJC Champagne Stakes over 1600m.

SAVABEEL’S 3yo Career

Spring 2004

Savabeel showed his true class and what an exciting prospect he was when he resumed running 4th in the Group 2 San Domenico Stakes at Randwick over 1000m. That race turned out to be one of the highlights of the early spring when, in a driving finish, Charge Forward just defeated Fastnet Rock and a close up Dance Hero ran 3rd.

At his next start he was the most unlucky runner of the race, when he ran a very close up 5th in the STC $1m Golden Rose Stakes 1400m. Savabeel got back to second last in the big field but started to surge home in the closing stages but was badly held up for a run and had no luck trying to get a clear passage.

At his third start, Savabeel stepped out in the Group 2 Gloaming Stakes over 1800m. Again getting back to the tail of the field he unleashed a powerful finish to run a gallant 2^nd to Al Maher but easily accounted for Outback Prince and Cedar Manor.

His fourth start he was at his peak leading into the Group 1 AJC Spring Champion Stakes 2000m. In this event he was able to travel a lot closer to the speed and powered away in the straight to score a decisive victory over Outback Prince, Cedar Manor and turned the tables on Al Maher who ran 4th.

Then took the horse to Melbourne for the Cup Carnival.

However we had a dilemma on our hands – which way did we go to get up to the Derby distance – race in either the Cox Plate or the Norman Robinson.

The owners and trainer had an unyielding faith that the colt was the best in the country at the distance and would be a definite threat in the Cox Plate.

So, at his 5th start he lined up in the $3m Group 1 MVRC W.S. Cox Plate WFA 2040m.

The rest is history.

Jumping well, he was taken forward to sit 3^rd in the fast tempo race. Approaching the home turn Savabeel kicked clear to win comfortably and write his name in history’s record books. Savabeel destroyed the best in the Southern Hemisphere including Fields of Omagh, Starcraft and Grand Armee.

This was only the second 3yo colt in 20 years to have won Australasia’s most prestigious race. Savabeel joined Octagonal (also a colt by Zabeel) in equine immortality.

Such was his fame there was even a song written and performed about the 3yo star.

Finally, at his 6^th start and closing race for this preparation, the colt lined up seven days later in the Group 1 VRC Derby over 2500m. He ran a fabulous race to run 2^nd but since he was backing up in 7 days from the tough Cox Plate run he found the unrealistically quick tempo of the race just beyond his limits of endurance.

Autumn 2005.

Big things were expected from this spring superstar. Racing had its latest hero.

Savabeel resumed at Caulfield in the Group 1 C.F.Orr Stakes 1400m. The race proved to be an exciting affair as Savabeel once again got too far back and was then checked and was forced very wide on the turn. Spotting the eventual winner Elvstroem a 3 lengths head start he ran flew home to only be beaten a head. He defeated Lad Of The Manor and Regal Roller.

Having been invited to race in Hong Kong he was inoculated the day after the race. That would become a defining moment. Savabeel had a allergic reaction to the injection and became very ill. He raced a few more times but the illness took its toll and the choice was a 4 month spell or retirement.

The horse was sold to Waikato Stud in a deal valuing the horse at $10 million. He covered his first book of mares in 2005 covering 120 mares at $35,000 NZD.

The boom has been on Savabeel’s progeny since they hit the ground. His progeny are strong with excellent muscle culture. He is imparting good bone into his stock and we have scene many excellent individual by him to date. If they can run half as good as they look we are in for some exciting racetrack victories.

This is Savabeel’s first crop of yearling being sold in 2008. At the NZ Premier Yearling Sale where Dynamic Syndications purchased 3 outstanding types by the sire, his progeny averaged $141,185 (4 x service fee) selling up to $300,000.
 

Savabeel commenced stud duties in New Zealand in 2005.

About SAVABEEL’S Sire

​

ZABEEL Trained by Colin Hayes, Zabeel competed with distinction in Australia for Sheikh Hamdan. He won once from three starts at two, then he showed his true classic form at three.

He captured the VRC Australian Guineas (Group I, 1600m), then added further lustre to his record by defeating Dr Grace (also by Sir Tristram) and Golden Slipper winner Courtza in the Moonee Valley Stakes (Group II, 1600m). Zabeel then carried his class to 2000m the distance at which he defeated VRC Derby hero Stylish Century in the MVRC Alister Clark Stakes (Group II).

Further Group success came with his win in the Craiglee Stakes (Group II) as a four-year-old, and Zabeel was retired with a record of 7 victories and 5 placings from 19 starts. His earnings, when he retired during the 1990-91 season, stood at $A1,138,400.

Zabeel 17 times Champion Sire

Sire of 720 winners and 111 Stakes Winners including 37 individual Group 1 winners making him the greatest stallion to stand at stud in New Zealand since his own great sire, Sir Tristram.  The most recent of those is the 2007 Melbourne Cup winner, Efficient (Refused the Dance (Defensive Play).

Zabeel assumed the mantle of New Zealand's flagship stallion from his own legendary sire, Sir Tristram who died in May 1997. That was just after Zabeel won the first of his eleven Dewar Stallion Trophy awards (in 1995-96), and just before he claimed his first general sire premierships in Australia & New Zealand (1997-98). In all, Zabeel has now won 17 Australasian sire premierships.

The important role he's played in maintaining New Zealand's profile in Australia during the past decade cannot be over-stated. He's appeared in the top ten Australian sires (by progeny earnings) every season since 1996, heading the list twice, and has only once slipped out of the top five, in 2003. Zabeel has been alone among active New Zealand-based sires in the latter group for all but two of those eleven seasons.

Excluding his crop of just-turned two-year-olds, Zabeel has now sired 111 stakeswinners (8.5%) from 1214 foals, a remarkable figure across 12 crops. That total includes 37 Group One winners, among them Australian Horses of the Year MIGHT AND POWER (1998 & 1999), and OCTAGONAL (1996). His New Zealand AEI figure for last season was better than 2.0, meaning that on average Zabeel’s progeny earned more than twice the average available funds per runner. Zabeel’s status as a top ten sire in Australia is confirmed by the ABR's recently introduced APEX ratings tables. He’s fourth on the list by “A” rating with a figure of 4.45, and seventh on the “ABC” rating list, with 2.66.

The final challenge for Zabeel, now twenty years old, is to establish his own stallion dynasty. This is taking longer than it might have, because most of his best racing sons from his early crops were geldings. (And what a line-up they were: Might And Power, Sky Heights, Zonda, Hades, Dignity Dancer, Bezeal Bay, Cronus and company).

The exceptions were Eight Carat’s sons, the brilliant but infertile Mouawad, and the champion Octagonal who, despite leaving his own champion son in Lonhro, has not fulfilled his promise with 17 stakeswinners (2%) from 857 foals to date. However, it’s too soon to dismiss the possibility of a Zabeel sire-line, because he’s had four Group One-winning sons begin stud careers in the past three years: Don Eduardo, Savabeel and St Reims in New Zealand, and Reset in Australia. His other New Zealand-based sire sons are Colombia, I Conquer and Sunray.

“A thoroughly reliable source of classic performance in Australasia” is Byron Rogers’ recent verdict on Zabeel. At first reading it seems insufficient praise for a horse that has won 17 official stallion premierships, left two Australian Horses of the Year, generated yearling sale receipts of $144 million since 1995 and has nine yearlings in the million-dollar-plus club. The test is how many other stallions qualify for that description. The answer, fifteen years after Zabeel began stud duties at Cambridge Stud, is “hardly any.”

 SIR TRISTRAM (Sire of Zabeel and Grandsire of Savabeel)

Sir Tristram kept the record-keepers busy from the time his oldest runners were three-year-olds, stamping himself one of the world's best stallions in the process. Today the dynasty he founded adds new Group winners at every major racing carnival in Australasia, his achievements still the standard by which each new sire is measured.

45 Group One winners; a total of 127 Group and Listed Stakes winners; in all, more than 220 black type performers, almost one quarter of all his runners. Today Sir Tristram's progeny earnings total close to $A50 million.

That total makes Sir Tristram the world's second leading sire of Group One winners: only in arrears of Sadler's Wells and ahead of Mr Prospector, ahead of Nijinsky II, ahead of Danzig and ahead of Northern Dancer.

He sired outstanding two-year olds Grosvenor, Isolda, Kaapstad, Our Tristalight, Tristalove and the 1987 Golden Slipper winner Marauding.
