Tara Madgwick - Monday October 26

Savagery was easy in the market, but travelled well in the run behind the leaders and finished off strongly for Brad Rawiller to score a half length win in the 1200m maiden.
 


Savagery was a $230,000 Karaka Ready to Run purchase for Paul Moroney Bloodstock from the Milan Park draft after he passed in earlier at the Book 1 Yearling Sale.

He breezed his furlong in 10.82 seconds.

Savagery is the second winner from Legless, a half-sister by O’Reilly to Group winners Oceanex, Amexed and Miss Aotearoa.

The Savabeel  x O’Reilly nick is super successful producing 18 stakes-winners at a strike rate of nearly 14% stakes-winners to runners!
