Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 9

Fresh from success at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale where they sold a cracking Toronado (IRE) colt for $400,000, Daniel Brash and his team from Collingrove Stud are now back ready for action with another strong draft to be offered at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale in Adelaide.

The draft features a lovely selection of yearlings being offered on behalf of Arrowfeld Stud with a Snitzel colt from Japanese import Almandine (Jpn) an obvious highlight of the entire sale.

Lot 431

Lot 431 is is the only yearling to be offered in Adelaide this year by champion sire Snitzel and is the third foal of Almandine, whose first two foals are racing in Japan with one a winner and the other placed. Almandine is a sibling to Group I winners Chrysoberyl, the 2019 Champion Dirt Horse of Japan, and Marialite, 2016 Champion Older Mare in Japan.

Snitzel has produced six stakes-winners from mares carrying Sunday Silence blood headed by Group II VRC Wakeful Stakes winner Zenzella.
