Maybe the Fame Game?
NZ Racing Desk reports:

Hall Of Fame's maiden victory may have earned him another start before he goes for a winter break.

Trainers Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards were going to spell the Savabeel colt after today's Counties meeting, but the two-year-old's runaway win is likely to change their minds.

“The plan was to put him away, but there is a race at Ellerslie over 1400 metres in a couple of weeks (the Listed Great Northern Foal Stakes on May 28) so we might have a look at that,” Richards said.

Runner-up on debut, Hall Of Fame raced on the outside of the leader and dashed clear in the straight to beat his stablemate Gingernuts by four and a half lengths.

Hall of Fame was bought by David Ellis from last year's Karaka Ready to Run Sale for $230,000 - half an hour later at that same sale, David also purchased the runner up in this race - Gingernuts (Iffraaj).  Later in the day Royal Success also won at just his second start - another David Ellis Ready to Run purchase, this time in 2014, for $250,000. 
Both winning colts are by Savabeel.
