$1.4million for Russian Revolution Brother

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 3

Champion sire Snitzel posted his second million colt of this year’s Inglis Easter when the Newgate Farm consigned full brother to their young champion sire Russian Revolution sold for $1.4million.

Bred by Mrs Belinda Bateman and foaled and raised at Newgate, the colt from terrific producer Ballet D’Amour (USA) was bought by James Harron Bloodstock.

He is a sibling to not only dual Group I winner Russian Revolution, but also Group III winner Turbo Miss and to the dam of dual Group I winner Home Affairs and stakes-winner Aysar.

“There were a lot of similarities between this colt and Russian Revolution and what an amazing job he’s been doing,” James Harron told Jemma Cutting of Inglis.

Russian Revolution is currently the leading second crop sire by winners, earnings and stakes-winners covering 200 mares at a fee of $71,500 at Newgate last spring.

“It’s just the most wonderful family that has produced champion sires Encosta de Lago and Flying Spur, more recently Russian Revolution and also Home Affairs,” Harron said.

“It just keeps throwing up these stallion prospects and that gives you a lot of confidence.”

No trainer has been decided for the colt, who is the tenth foal of Ballet D’Amour, who has had six foals to race all winners and was covered last year by I Am Invincible after having a year off.
