Moment To Savour For Son Of Savabeel
9 October 2011
Savour The Moment drew attention to his Matamata prospects with an impressive trial win and he didn’t disappoint connections today in his return to racing. The highly-regarded son of Savabeel defeated a competitive line-up of Rating 70 sprinters in fine style.
“He did trial up well and he’s come up really good this time,” trainer Stephen Marsh said. “He’s strengthened up a lot and his work has been fantastic so we were pretty confident. When he gets up over ground we’ll see the best of him and he might be a cups’ horse next year.” Savour The Moment has now won two of his seven starts for the Albert Bosma-managed Go Racing With The Mistress Syndicate.
Out of the unraced Masterclass mare Dancing Mistress, he was purchased by them out of WS’s 2009 Premier Sale draft for $37,500. The dam’s two previous foals to race have been the Danasinga brothers Striptease and Big Winner Again who have both been winners.
Dancing Mistress is a sister to the Listed Flying Handicap winner Danasar and to the dam of the Gr 2 Auckland Breeders’ Stakes winner Vienetta and Gr 3 Lion Red Plate winner Butterscotch. It is also the family of the Australian Gr 1 winners Anacheeva (Caulfield Guineas) and Headturner (Australian Derby) as well as Golden Archer (Gr 3 McNeil Stakes).
