My Sabeel grabs Group Glory

1 September 2014

Genuine mare My Sabeel became Savabeel’s latest black type winner when she completed a Sydney double for the WS stallion in late August. Her victory in the Gr.3 Toy Show Quality was preceded by the success of Surpass in the Randwick City Lord Mayor’s Cup.

The seven-year-old My Sabeel boosted her future broodmare value with the sixth win of her career that also features 15 placings. “She’s worth so much more money now,” trainer Kevin Moses said. She was given a good run near the pace by Glyn Schofield and they sprinted clear to win easing down.

Surpass continued his handy strike rate when he won for the sixth time in his 30-start career. The six-year-old had weighed in at his previous three starts this campaign in Melbourne and trainer Michael Moroney pulled the right rein when sending him to Sydney and a rain-affected Randwick track.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

Well, I got a bit behind last week, with Friday slipping by without realising it; hence no Corner. I have said on too many occasions that negative messages are of no help to anyone, and yet there seems so often a reason to be concerned. Clearly, this week the well-constructed Guerin Report on the threatened downgrade of our Group 1 races demands our attention.

Vale Ohope Wins, Ocean Park’s tough, kind and courageous daughter

Long before her Oaks double, Ohope Wins’ greatest victory belonged to the Waikato Stud staff and Matamata Veterinary Services vets who saved her as a desperately sick foal. Taken far too soon at Caulfield, her remarkable story is theirs too.
