Miss Savabeel Sizzles On Debut (July 2 2010)

A debut win at Wyong yesterday stamped WS graduate Miss Savabeel as a filly with a bright future for leading trainer John O'Shea. The two-year-old showed the benefit of two preparatory trials when she got home in fine style over 1200 metres under top jockey Corey Brown.

The 39th winner from resident sire Savabeel's first two crops, she is from the winning Flying Spur mare Lightning Spur who is owned by Garry Chittick's daughter Celia and her husband Phillip Crawshaw. She is a out of the black-type winner Cloister (Debutante Stakes) from the family oflast Saturday's Group 1 winner Melito, along with Gr 1 winners Zeditave and Greys Inn.

Lightning Spur has a Savabeel filly likely to be offered next year and she is currently in foal to WS's champion resident O'Reilly. Miss Savabeel was purchased by O'Shea for $100,000 from the Matamata farm's Premier Sale draft to last year's National Yearling Sale.
