Smart Love too smart this start

Savabeel

Racing at Te Rapa on Sunday, 14 September, saw the return of Smart Love (ex Relentless Desire), having last been seen in November of 2024.

The four-year-old daughter of Savabeel, trained by Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott, had two trials before lining up in Race 7 over 1300m, and she did not disappoint, winning well, being eased down at the line some 3.3 lengths on the field.

Racing in the Waikato Stud colours for Garry Chittick’s Chittick Investments, Smart Love is the third foal of the O’Reilly mare Relentless Desire, who has a Noverre yearling filly and is expected to foal to Ardrossan this season.

This year, Savabeel was inducted into the NZ Hall of Fame and secured his 10th NZ Champion Sire award, having produced 35 Group 1 winners and nearly A$200 million in progeny earnings.
