Lot 354 Super Seth (AUS) ‐ Cincoro (NZ) Bay Filly

Lot 354 bay filly Super Seth – Cincoro (Savabeel) $150,000 (draft: Elsdon Park)

Te Akau principal David Ellis CNZM bought reigning Champion Two-Year-Old La Dorada, bred on the same Super Seth / Savabeel cross, and one of four individual Group One winners by sensational young sire Super Seth (Dundeel).

Super Seth made a fantastic impact as a three-year-old colt, especially when ‘coming from nowhere’ to beat race favourite Alligator Blood (All Too Hard) in the Caulfield Guineas (Gr. 1, 1600m).

Super Seth is a son of six-time Group One winner Dundeel, by sire of sires High Chaparral (Sadler’s Wells), whose sons include Dundeel, So You Think, Toronado, Contributer, Ace High, Redwood, and Tivaci, all sires of Group One winners.

With his oldest crop now four-year-olds, Super Seth has been Champion First & Second Season Sire, Champion 2YO Sire, and already produced 68 individual winners, including eight stakes’ winners.

An unbelievable sire son of Champion Sire Zabeel, and Champion Grand-Sire Sir Tristram, Savabeel has produced 154 stakes winners, surpassing 140 by Sir Tristram, and chasing down 166 by Zabeel.

It was inevitable that Savabeel would also shine in the role as a broodmare sire, where he currently sits second to O’Reilly (Last Tycoon), with 17 individual stakes winners in the role, including six Group One.

The filly is out of debut winning two-year-old Cincoro (Savabeel), while second dam Fortaleza, by Darci Brahma (Danehill), is a half-sister to Sword of Osman (Savabeel), whom David Ellis purchased as a yearling at Karaka, and the impressive winner scored five times to 1400 metres, including the Sistema Stakes (Gr. 1, 1200m) and Matamata Slipper (Gr. 3, 1200m) as a two-year-old, and the Sarten Memorial (Gr. 2, 1400m) at three.

“We know this family so well, through the deeds of Sword of Osman and it’s great that such an up-and-coming nursery as Elsdon Park is carrying on breeding from it, it’s a great sign,” said David Ellis.

“We also know the Super Seth / Savabeel cross works, having bought La Dorada as a yearling, and having also bought and trained the five-time Group One winner and Champion Sire Darci Brahma, it’s always rewarding to buy yearlings with him in the pedigree.

“He showed great acceleration as a racehorse, Super Seth, and we’re seeing that in his offspring. He also puts great strength into his progeny.

“She’s a great, strong-bodied, filly, structurally very powerful for a yearling. She has plenty of upside about her and there is a lot of quality in this filly for the price.”

The filly has very strong bloodline crosses to both Danehill (Danzig) and Zabeel (Sir Tristram), which standout as really high-quality influences in her pedigree.
