Oaks goal for Black Sav

15 December 2015

Awapuni three-year-old Black Sav has enjoyed an easy time ahead of her Group One preparation.

A first-up winner on her home track in November, she then had no luck at Trentham where she charged home after an interrupted run to finish fourth behind the unbeaten Natural Achiever.

“We put her in the paddock for 10 days after that – it’s a long lead-up to the Oaks,” trainer Lisa Latta said.

“She’s a beautiful filly and we’ll look at the three-year-old 1400m on Marton Cup day for her.”
