A $220,000 buy from the Waikato Stud draft at the 2016 New Zealand Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale at Karaka by Chris Waller, Savacool is out of Chilled Out (NZ) (Anabaa {USA}), the half-sister to stakes winner The Big Chill (NZ) (O'Reilly {NZ}).
Savacool was offered as a race filly by Bluesky Premium Consignments at the Magic Millions National Sale in 2019, where she was purchased for $165,000 by Waller's CSTN Bloodstock.
Chilled Out has had six foals to the track for five winners, while her half-sister Forty Two Below (NZ) (O'Reilly {NZ}) produced the Group 2 winner (I Am) Coldplay, who is a blood sister to Savacool.
