Snitzel Mares on the Rise

Tara Madgwick - Thursday June 30

Yesterday we looked at the mares covered last spring by Arrowfield Stud’s champion sire Snitzel, who is increasingly making his presence felt as a broodmare sire producing the dams of 10 stakes-winners this season.

Snitzel made a splash early as a broodmare sire when an unraced filly from his very first crop, Eye for Fun, produced Golden Slipper winner Mossfun.

Mossfun remains his only Group I winner as a broodmare sire, but there is now a steady flow of stakes-winners being produced by Snitzel mares.

This season his daughters have produced the winners of over $8.6million in prizemoney including 10 stakes-winners headed by Group winners Lavish Girl (Xtravagant), Marine One (Capitalist), Daisies (Sebring), The Amazonian (Akeed Mofeed (GB), Pin Striped (Street Boss (USA), Snowdome (Rommel) and a couple of expensive high profile 2YO colt stakes-winners in Millane (Zoustar) and Cannonball (Capitalist).

Past champion sires Redoute’s Choice, Encosta de Lago and Zabeel have dominated broodmare sire lists in recent times, but Snitzel is undoubtedly on the rise in that arena with the Australian Studbook listing no fewer than 448 of his daughters at stud.
