South Island racing celebrated its standouts of the 2021-22 season with the 27th South Island Racing Awards at Riccarton on Friday, and Go Racing’s quality gelding Hasabro (NZ) (Savabeel) stole the show.

Sells for NZ$670,000 to China Horse Club on Gavelhouse.com.

The 2017 New Zealand 1,000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Hasahalo (Savabeel) is set to sell on the online auction site gavelhouse.com.

Savabeel siblings Hasahalo and Hasabro made a pleasing return to the track on Tuesday for Ardmore trainer Stephen McKee at the Cambridge trials.

New Zealand syndicator Albert Bosma is acutely aware of the lucrative prizemoney on offer in Australia and hopes to have an increasing presence in the lucky country with both visiting raiders and permanently domiciled runners.
