The result has the potential to have a major bearing on the Australian General Sires List with Yarraman Park’s superstar I Am Invincible, who has won the past two Australian Champion Sire titles, represented by two runners in Hawaii Five Oh and In Secret as well as the emergency runner King of Sparta.

Coolmore favourite So You Think, who has been second to I Am Invincible in the Champion Sires race for the past two seasons and a victory for his brilliant son Think About It could tilt the scales his way in 2024.

Snitzel has already won this race twice previously with his lightning fast son Redzel and on both occasions he subsequently won the Champion Sire title, so Shinzo has the potential to the Arrowfield Stud stalwart put him back on top.
