Dual Group One winner Suavito has been retired and sold to New Zealand's Waikato Stud.

Trainer Nigel Blackiston announced the retirement of Suavito on Wednesday saying the six-year-old mare would be served by Savabeel in the coming weeks.

"She is one of the toughest fillies or mares I have dealt with. She can race on the pace or off it, in the pack or out wide, and has a great will to win," Blackiston said on his website.

Her first Group One victory came in the 2015 Futurity Stakes, followed almost a year later with success in the C F Orr Stakes in February 2016.

Blackiston, who previously served as a foreman for Bart Cummings, said the mare would be missed when she returned to New Zealand were she was foaled and raised.

Suavito finishes a 24 race career, launched at Ballarat in 2013, earning more than $1.3 million prize money and claiming eight victories, including five at Group level.
