Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards completed their unfinished group one business at Trentham yesterday in fine style with Hall Of Fame.
The Matamata trainers produced the colt to win the Randwick Meats Levin Classic, a race in which his stablemate Xtravagant suffered a shock defeat when fourth 12 months ago as a $1.30 favourite.
Hall Of Fame also put aside the disappointment of his own failure in his spring goal when he beat only one runner home in the group one New Zealand 2000 Guineas at Riccarton.
"He's always showed plenty of ability, but he'd had enough then and we gave him a break and he's come back better than ever," Autridge said.
"It's great for Savabeel and it's great for Te Akau, we're absolutely rapt."
