Dual Group One winner Suavito (NZ) (Thorn Park) has been retired and sold to Waikato Stud.
Trainer Nigel Blackiston announced the retirement of Suavito on Tuesday saying the six-year-old mare would be served by Savabeel in the coming weeks.
"She is one of the toughest fillies or mares I have dealt with. She can race on the pace or off it, in the pack or out wide, and has a great will to win," Blackiston said on his website.
Her first Group One victory came in the 2015 Futurity Stakes, followed almost a year later with success in the C F Orr Stakes in February 2016.
Blackiston, who previously served as a foreman for Bart Cummings, said the mare would be missed when she returned to New Zealand were she was foaled and raised.
Suavito finishes a 24 race career, launched at Ballarat in 2013, earning more than $1.3 million prize money and claiming eight victories, including five at Group level. -APP
