100 for Snitzel

Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 16

A treble of metropolitan winners on Wednesday has seen Arrowfield Stud’s champion sire Snitzel join the century club with 100 Australian winners for the season.

Snitzel had success with Marmooga at Ascot, Baldassare at Doomben and promising two year-old Freakofnature, a debut winner at Sandown, read about him here.

Turning 21 this year, Snitzel covered 168 mares last spring at a fee of $220,000 and is also making his mark as a sire of sires through the likes of Shamus Award and Russian Revolution with Trapeze Artist holding promise for the future.

His daughters are also having a growing influence and he is now sire of the dam of 21 stakes-winners after tasting very early success in this sphere when his first crop daughter Eye for Fun produced Golden Slipper winner Mossfun as her first foal.
