Savabeel Colt Impressive

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 4
There are no lofty spring plans in place for expensive Savabeel colt Kaonic, who broke the ice at Canterbury on Wednesday with a stylish victory.

Kaonic as a yearlingAn unlucky third on debut last month, the Chris Waller trained colt was sent out a hot favourite for the 1550 metre maiden.

With runaway leader Delos highballing out in front, Kaonic appeared to face a task to win when turning for home, but unleashed a powerful finish to surge clear and win by a length.

"He has a good action and has a good future," said Chris Waller.

"Canterbury is a great track, but I think you'll see him race better on a bigger track."

Waller is keen to keep Kaonic in work for another run or two for education, always with an eye on the Sydney Autumn Carnival next year.

A $425,000 NZB Premier purchase for Mulcaster Bloodstock from the Blandford Lodge draft, Kaonic runs for Neville Morgan and is the first winner for stakes-winning Fastnet Rock mare Fast Love.
