Are there any male tail descendants left?

In New Zealand, Sir Ivor comes through son Sir Tristram via champion sire Zabeel. Zabeel's son Savabeel is the best chance for the Sir Ivor line to continue. Another Zabeel sire son Zed has just started to fire.

I was just focusing on NZ but if we have to bring the Aussies into it

then yes Lonhro is a strong chance

Savabeel is a NICE horse.

Like most of the Sir Tristram line, they are best as late 3yo and up, and are very, very tough.

Over in Aussie, Reset is starting to make some noise. Don Eduardo is kicking around but not at the same level as Savabeel or Lonhro.

I think Lonhro has had great support here in the US, which will open possibilities via his sons down the road. This is one great, overlooked, sire line IMHO.
