Selecting & training some of Savabeelโs most incredible success stories, we have long held the champ in the very highest regard - he will remain a legend written into the fabric of racing history - so much love to Pippa, Mark, Mary, Garry & the whole Chittick family as they mourn such a huge loss to them & our industry - Chanpions live on forever & Savabeel certainly will - love from the entire @TeAkauRacing team ๐ ๐ธ Noverre
Itโs a @MatamataRacing double for the tangerine team & Craig Grylls with Dare To Proisir & Troublemaker (she can live up to her name!) saluting the judge - both also bought @KarakaChat by David Ellis - well done team - thrilled for their owners - NZ wins for the season 135 #thewinningcontinues ๐งก๐
Win 133 for the NZ season comes with a @TeAkauRacing homebred quinella at a Riccarton - Purple Prose now 4 wins from 10 starts on the poly, ahead of fast finishing Queen of Naples - well done to their owners, riders & @hunter_durrant_ & our team #thewinningcontinues

Sir David Ellis
โSo well deservedโ, was my first reaction on hearing that @TeAkauRacing David Ellis was being knighted in this yearโs ๐ณ๐ฟ Kingโs Birthday honours
In my time I canโt think of anyone who has done more for racing where I grew up. His tangerine ๐ stable has introduced so many to racing & winning at all levels - at the highest level at elite rates.
Iโm in absolute awe of David, alongside his incredible wife Karyn, who for the last two decades have been the leading buyers at @KarakaChat, buying 50-75 yearlings a year, with a spend of $10-15m annually on both sides of the Tasman.
The positive flow on effect of his impact in thoroughbred racing in Australasia has been felt by breeders, owners, punters, bookmakers & the many young people who have been trained within Davidโs incredibly professional operation.
Thank you ๐ & well done Sir ๐ก๏ธ
