Mehzebeen has added to her collection of staying titles in fine style at Trentham.
The daughter of Almanzor produced a stirring display to land the Listed Hawke’s Bay Cup following her spring successes in the Listed Metropolitan Trophy and G3 New Zealand Cup.
Also runner-up in the G1 New Zealand Oaks, Mehzebeen was out of luck during a two-start Melbourne campaign before she returned home to finish a first-up third in last month’s New Zealand St Leger.
The Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson-trained mare showed the benefit of that outing with a stout display in the Cup under Lily Sutherland.
They led early before settling in the trail and the five-year-old finished relentlessly along the fence for the sixth victory of her career.
“Sam and I spoke, he said Plan A was to push forward and then get a breather if Final Return went around and took over,” Te Akau Racing Manager Reece Trumper said.
“Luckily, when she (Sutherland) was going to come to the outside the inside run came and it was a great ride by Lily. While she is the leading apprentice in the country, she is also one of the best jockeys as well.”
Bred by Pencarrow Stud, Mehzebeen was a $50,000 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale graduate and is a daughter of the Zabeel mare Salkantay.

Almanzor’s son Trav produced a memorable performance at Ellerslie to land a knockout blow in the feature staying event on Champions’ Day.
The five-year-old came from the tail of the field to claim top honours in the G2 Auckland Cup for co-breeder, part-owner and trainer Raymond Connors.
Trav drifted well off the pace under rider Masa Hashizume before they began to pick up ground 800 metres from home and the gelding finished relentlessly in the run home to land the thick end of the $600,000 stake.
“That’s just the way he races so I expected him to be well back there and he came on well,” Connors said.
“It’s amazing and just awesome to be part of such a big day. This was our goal so it’s great to achieve it.”
Trav had drawn serious attention to his prospects with his lead-up fourth in the G3 Wellington Cup at Trentham where he had missed the start by 20 lengths.
“He’s not the easiest horse to train, so it’s been a bit of an effort as he can be tricky at times,” Connors said.
Hashizume said while Trav had got well back in the field, he was able to get a smooth run into contention.
“He got a good drag into it and he ran through the line and even afterwards he was hard to pull up. He’s a tough horse and all credit to the horse and trainer.”
Trav is a son of the winning Savabeel mare Royal Sav, a half-sister to the dual G3 Stewards Handicap winner Prince Oz.
It is a family that Connors has an intimate knowledge of and includes his G2 Wellington Cup winner Blood Brotha, who also claimed two G3 New Zealand Cups, and his G3 Manawatu Classic winner and G1 New Zealand Derby placegetter King Johny.

Well-related filly Diamond Show did us proud at Hawkesbury where she put her rivals away with a minimum of effort.
The daughter of resident sire Almanzor had been building to something special and she duly delivered with a sparkling performance over 1600 metres to justify her short odds.
We bred and sold Diamond Show who has been patiently handled by trainer Brad Widdup and had opened her current preparation when fifth on the Kensington track at Randwick before finishing runner-up at Kembla Grange.
She went one better in style on her home track over 1600 metres, coming from the back of the field in the hands of Kerrin McEvoy to put a space on her opposition.
Congratulations to Sydney owner John Cordina, who purchased Diamond Show under his Summertime Holdings banner for A$340,000 out of our Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale draft in 2023.
A half-sister to Listed Taranaki Oaks Prelude winner Miss Ella, the filly is a daughter of the Zabeel mare Zenella who finished runner-up in the G1 Queensland Oaks.
All five of her foals to race have been successful and we sold Diamond Show’s unraced brother for A$100,000 at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.
The mare produced another Almanzor colt last season and is in foal to Chaldean.
From the famed Eight Carat family, Zenella is a half-sister to the G2 Blazer Stakes winner Forever Loved with the G1 Australian Guineas winner Feroce the most recent top-flight winner on the pedigree page.

Gary Crispe, Timeform Australia
He was a lovely horse to train, showed his class and ability at a very early stage and was such a sound horse all the way through his career.
Kevin Ryan
I’ve always liked him, he had raw ability as a 2YO and I knew as a 3YO he would be a top-class colt
Opie Bosson
He was hands down the best 3YO in Europe in 2016 and is a top-class sire prospect
