FINAL 5% AVAILABLE: This colt is by world-leading sire Wootton Bassett, the international phenomenon whose progeny are dominating the globe with their elite speed and class. A striking individual, he is a great mix of both his sire and his legendary damsire Savabeel, near black in colour and moving with the fluid athleticism of a panther. He is the second foal of a proper racehorse in Zayydani, a high-class daughter of Savabeel who proved her quality on the track as a winner of the Group 2 Matriarch Stakes and multiple stakes races.

His pedigree is top-class and represents some of the most successful bloodlines in the New Zealand Studbook, he hails from the family responsible for Group 1 winning stallions Ocean Park and Grunt, as well as recent Australian Group winners Shanwah and Excelida. The cross is one full of immense promise, while Wootton Bassett himself is relatively new to Savabeel mares, his New Zealand-based son Almanzor has already excelled with the nick, producing 5 stakes horses and 2 Group winners from just 22 runners.

Physically, he is a professional, well-shaped colt who displays the "X-factor" movement we look for in our top-tier targets. Offered through the historic Trelawney Stud draft, a nursery synonymous with producing champions, he shapes as a colt with real stallion potential and a pedigree that brings both speed and immense quality.
