Te Akau Racing's Group 1 winning daughter of Savabeel (Zabeel) Amarelinha is the latest high-profile mare to be listed for sale on Gavelhouse Plus.

The five-year-old daughter mare will be offered as a racing and breeding proposition, with the auction to run through until 7pm (NZ) on Wednesday September 28.

Amarelinha won the 2021 Group 1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) and en route to her Oaks triumph, Amarelinha displayed her versatility and class, with a maiden victory over 1300 metres quickly followed by success in the Group 2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m), Group 2 David & Karyn Ellis Fillies Classic (2000m) and Group 3 Sunline Vase (2100m).

Prepared for the bulk of her career by Jamie Richards, Amarelinha also finished runner-up in the Karaka Million 3YO Classic (RL, 1600m), while she also finished fourth in the Group 1 Australian Oaks (2400m). 

"Amarelinha is one of the best three-year-old fillies we have ever had in the stable," Te Akau's David Ellis said.

"She's won from 1300 metres to 2400 metres and right through her classic season, her form was outstanding.

"She's one of the best types of Savabeels I've ever seen and is bred on that famous Savabeel – O'Reilly cross, I'm certain she will make a really good broodmare.

"Another point to give buyers confidence is the fact that both Melody Belle and Avantage both got in foal on their first services last season. I think the way we manage our horses helps in this regard."

One of 27 individual Group One winners by her sire, Amarelinha is the first foal from the O'Reilly (Last Tycoon) mare Hopscotch. 

The Savabeel – O'Reilly cross operates at 12 per cent stakes-winners to runners, while it is also worth noting Savabeel is making a name as a broodmare sire, with 17 stakes winners to his credit in that capacity to date, including Group One winners Savatoxl and Never Been Kissed.
