One to Watch - Echuca

Tara Madgwick - Monday October 26

A three year-old gelding bought from the NZB Ready to run Sale last year and bred on the magic Savabeel x O’Reilly cross was an obvious ‘One to Watch’ contender when winning on debut at Echuca on Monday for the powerful Chris Waller stable.

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