Dynamic Syndications 4yo mare SAVAPINSKI, Brilliant winner of Saturday’s Gr2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m) at Flemington, (Savabeel x Swarovski) has arrived back at Tulloch Lodge in magnificent order.
Savapinski - now safely back home at Tulloch Lodge
SAVAPINSKI demoralised her peers with an awesome front running display peeling off brilliant sectionals, breaking 2:02 when recording 2:01.59 and in the process posting the biggest winning margin in Matriarch Stakes history.
Savapinski makes it a one act affair in the Gr2 Matriarch Stakes
The brilliance of Gai Waterhouse was on display again, as the
Waterhouse/Bott combination
had targeted the
Matriarch Stakes after easily accounting for her peers second-up this preparation over 1600m.

On Sunday morning
SAVAPINSKI was full of energy, bucking her brands off as she kicked and squealed as she played in the sand roll.
She had licked her feed tin out overnight and was impatiently awaiting her breakfast. Its as if she hadn’t raced at all !
Gai and Adrian arranged for her to leave Gai’s Flemington stables on Sunday night and she was
back home Monday morning in her own box.
With big dreams ahead for next Spring, Gai and Adrian believe the incredible way our mare has rebounded, she will prove hard to catch again in the $125,000 ATC Cup to be run at Rosehill over 2000m on 2nd December.
That is a
Listed Race and allows us to test her against the males. The race will be run under Quality Hcp conditions where as a Benchmark 97 mare, she will be well weighted.
Dependent upon how that race pans out and how she rebounds from the
ATC Cup will determine if she heads to the spelling paddock or at this stage, our preferred option is to
step up in trip to the Listed ATC Christmas Cup 2400m on 16 December - a trip that the stable and connections believe will ultimately prove to be her best distance.
The third alternative is to stay at
2000m for the $150,000 Gr3 ATC Summer Cup on Boxing Day.
Record Breaker ! Savapinski all dressed-up - She is the new Queen of the Matriarch Stakes
However, each day is a long day in the racing game and we just take things one day at a time.
If at anytime she indicates she is over the top she will be on the first truck to the spelling paddock.
