You may have heard of Scarlett Lady. She dominated Australasia's 3YO filly scene last season, winning the Group 1 Queensland Oaks, Group 2 Travis Stakes & Group 3 Doomben Roses in an amazing 6-pronged win streak.

Or maybe Sangster, who streaked home to claim 2011's Group 1 VRC Derby, My Emotion who won the Group 2 Moonee Valley Fillies Stakes defeating Speedy Natalie and Aloha, or Group 2 Brisbane Cup winner Tullamore? Top quality horses that the average racing fan would know very well by now, all by young sire Savabeel.

Savabeel has had 13 stakes-winners out of 122 individual winners from three crops at racing age across the globe. He boasts a very credible 12% stakes-winners to winners ratio from the stock that race in Australia.

On the racetrack, three weeks after defeating his peers in the Group 1 AJC Spring Champion Stakes, Savabeel won the career-defining WFA championship – the Cox Plate, joining Octagonal, Red Anchor, Surround and now So You Think as the only three year olds to do so in 35 years. It's a race we would love to win with this colt.

This typey individual is from an impressive female family. He is out of South African bred mare Pin Oak, daughter of US bred Sadler's Wells son, Fort Wood, who has already had success as a broodmare sire, being the grand sire to no less than twenty one stakes-winners to date.

Dam, Pin Oak, is a full-sister to Group 2 winner Cycad, the winner of seven races from 1400m to 3000m. Talk about versatility! And Trade Specialist, a stakes-winner who had the same staying aptitude, winning from 1600m to 2400m. Pin Oak also has a half-sibling in the form of Slumdogmillionaire who recently made it two wins from two starts winning the Listed 1800m Turffontein Sea Cottage Stakes in fine fashion.

The female family goes back to powerhouse son of Sadler's Wells, Runyon (who is bred similarly to dam, Pin Oak with the influence of Sadler's Wells), who added to his handy collection of black type when he travelled to Australia, from Europe, to contest and win the Group 1 VATC Underwood Stakes, defeating Group 1 VATC Caulfield Cup winner (among three other Group 1 wins), Mannerism.

John O'Shea commented, "This colt looks a definite stayer and has a lovely walk and the right physique to make it over some distance. Hopefully this can be my Cox Plate horse in a few years!"
