For close to 20 years, Savabeel has been the backbone of the Waikato Stud stallion roster but the leading New Zealand nursery is preparing to hand the baton to his successor, Caulfield Guineas winner Super Seth.

After siring three Group 1 winners during the autumn, Feroce in the Australian Guineas, Randwick Guineas winner Linebacker and two-year-old La Dorada in the Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes, Super Seth will be backed to the hilt by Waikato Stud and the stallion’s group of shareholders when the breeding season begins on September 1.

As a result of his newfound popularity ahead of his sixth season at stud, a limited number of outside nominations will be available to Super Seth at an increased fee of NZ$75,000 (all fees plus GST) this year.
