A third generation homebred for Newhaven Park, Encosta de Lago filly English was retained to race and sent to the stables of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott where she quickly became a star winning the Group II ATC Reisling Stakes and finishing second in the Golden Slipper to be named Champion 2YO Filly.

She returned at three to win the Group I ATC All Aged Stakes (1400m) at WFA to be Champion 3YO Filly and later added another G1 to her CV winning the Doomben 10,000 retiring with six wins and over $3.4million in prizemoney.

Her first foal, a colt by I Am Invincible, sold for $1.55million to the bid of Kia Ora Stud / TFI / Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing at this sale last year and her second is an outstanding Snitzel colt that will be offered as Lot 9.

He is bred on the well proven Snitzel x Encosta de Lago nick that has produced three juvenile Group I winning colts – Sword of State, Invader and Summer Passage – with this colt ticking a lot of boxes to follow in their foosteps.
