Success to the brave ! Maybe the title of this popular book by Alexander Kent applies to buying this colt .
He is different ! By a sire that the Australian market hasn't warmed to or maybe just not understood . Just standing the 1 season he only has 18 colts on the ground .
As a type he is an impressive solid brown colt with a snip on his nose , he is of good bone and muscle tone . He was inspected by NZB Inspector and accepted for their select sale ( letter available ),
As a horse owner we all aspire to reach the pinnacle . In most cases this involves spending multiple hundreds of thousand dollars , without any guarantees . There are many sires that will provide you with race track success , but very rarely take us to dizzy heights , well SUPER SAVER may be that sire , at a VERY MODEST outlay & risk.
MARIA'S MON sire line , what the? many may say , well he was
* Champion 2yo in USA. Multiple Gr1's
* As a sire
* Winners to runners 81.5%
* 125 2yo winners
* Earnings in excess of $50m , died at the young age of 11 at his peak.
* 50 Stakes Winners ( 29 on turf ) & 18 at Gr1 level.
* 43 Stakes place getters.
* 2 Kentucky Derby winners , incl the sire of this colt & Monarchos
already the sire of Champion mare Informed Decision on dirt & turf.
* Sire of champion 3yo in USA WAIT A WHILE from an A.P. Indy mare
as is SUPER SAVER.

The article below gives a good insight into SUPER SAVER.

The first 5 sires of this colt are Gr1 winners , four being multiple Gr1.
What about his dam ? She is an aged mare , part of the being brave thing , but so too was her full sister Popsy ( 2 years older ) , NZ Derby Gr1 Winner when she produced $1.45M yearling and Gr1 winner , now Sire Rock'n'pop ( photo 4 ) a few years ago . Making him a cousin to this colt.
Some comments on the racing performances of some of BEKTRIS'S progeny.
SOAK UP THE SUN ( DESERT SUN ) . $97500 yearling . Gr2 placed . Won on debut as a 2yo , then 4/14 & 2/10 at Rosehill & Warwick Farm btn less than a length , then to the Golden Slipper lead up race , the STC Magic Nights S , Gr2 where she was placed behind SHAMEKHA who at her next start finished close up 4th in the GOLDEN SLIPPER behind Polar Success. Good 2yo.
UP'N'DOING ( JETBALL ) $92k yearling , was a 2yo trial winner , before debuting with a 2yo metro win at Rosehill , followed up at her next start with another 2yo win , this time at Randwick .
DESERT HEIRESS ( DESERT KING ) 2nd on debut at Sandown , then another 2nd at Geelong , at 4th start won at provincial Victoria . Contested the Gr1 VRC Oaks and was later a 3200m metro winner.
Bektris's progeny have been popular at auction , with results of $150,000 , $120,000 , $97,500 , $92,000 & $60,000 (2x)
Popsy's ( full sister to dam of colt ) progeny have been enormously popular with action results of $1,450,000 , $1,000,000 , $360,000 , $200,000 , $170,000 PI , $120,000 , $75,000 , producing a Gr1 winner to date.
This colt was accepted and inspected by NZB for their select sale as apart of the Esker Stud draft who sold his $1.45M cousin , but it was decided too costly an exercise to send him there much to their disappointment.
So maybe as you're leading this colt in after a victory , dare I say the 2015 Vic Derby , you could say to yourself , " I wasn't brave after all , just astute ".
