Suavito (foaled 21/08/2010) is a retired Thoroughbred racehorse formally trained by Nigel Blackiston at Flemington Racecourse. She was bred in New Zealand by IDL Racing Ltd, and was raced throughout her entire career in Australia. She was a multiple group winner and won over $1,000,000 in prize money.
Suavito kicked off her career in a 3 year old maiden race at Ballarat over 1100m where she finished second to Solicit, a horse that went on to be a multiple group winning horse. Early in her career it was clear how talented she was, winning her second start, and going on to dominantly win her first city race at Caulfield Racecourse at just her 4th career start.
In her second preparation, in autumn 2014, Suavito placed first-up at Group 2 level. She went on the finish a close second to Marianne in the Listed Alexandra Stakes at Moonee Valley, followed by 7th and 6th placings in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes and ATC (Australian Turf Club) Oaks respectively.
In her third preparation, spring 2014, Suavito kicked off with a win first-up over 1400m at Caulfield, displaying a great turn of foot. Weeks later, she controversially remained in the barriers at Flemington in the Group 2 Blazer Stakes. After this mishap, Suavito went on to win her first Black-type race in the Group 3 F&M Tesio Stakes at Moonee Valley. Two weeks later, on Emirates Stakes Day, Suavito won the Group 2 F&M Matriarch Stakes at Flemington.
After finishing her 2014 spring campaign with two wins in a row, Suavito started her third preparation in great form, defeating Smokin' Joey and Dissident (The 2014/2015 Horse Of The Year) first up over 1400m at Caulfield in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes. She soon made it 4 wins in a row after winning the Group 2 Blamey Stakes in dominant fashion. Her preparation finished after just three starts, with a 7th placing in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile over 1600m at Royal Randwick.
