\u201cHe has been a wonderful horse with an amazing pedigree page and even before we have made this announcement, we have had people making inquiries about him.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously if we were retaining the stud, he could have stood here [The Oaks] but as people know The Oaks is under offer and we want to give the new purchasers a shot at buying an exciting young stallion prospect.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are still taking offers and fielding other calls because he is a son of Savabeel from a hot family so he is a very commercial horse so we don\u2019t know where he will stand yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Savaglee raced 17 times for seven wins, including that Group 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas and three Group 2 victories, and was trained by Pam Gerard.<\/p>\n
