Group 1 winning son of Savabeel retires and will stand at farm in 2021.

Cool Aza Beel (Savabeel) has retired from racing and will stand at Newhaven Park this year. The son of Savabeel retires the winner of four of his six career starts with his victories headed by the Sistema Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at Ellerslie last March whilst he also won the Karaka 2YO Million (RL, 1200m). 

Bought by David Ellis for NZ$150,000 at New Zealand Bloodstock's Karaka Book 1 sale in 2019, Cool Aza Beel is out of the winning Testa Rossa (Perugino) mare Cool 'N' Sassy. His third dam is Tennessee Morn (Bletchingly) whose ten winners are headed by dual Group 1 winner Malaguerra (Magnus), while this is also the family of Coolmore Classic (Gr 1, 1500m) winner Aloha (Encosta De Lago). 

"We are very excited to have bought Cool Aza Beel to stand at Newhaven Park in 2021," said Newhaven Park's John Kelly.

"He's by the champion sire of New Zealand and from a classic Australian family, so we could not be happier.

"He will appeal to every Australian breeder and is the perfect outcross.

"We are ecstatic to be buying horses from Te Akau and we think he will be a wonderful acquisition for Newhaven Park and his new syndicate."
