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.

Lot 9 - Snitzel colt from English.

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.
