Snitzel 2YO Colts Quinella

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday November 27

The 900m juvenile maiden at Newcastle on Wednesday produced a quinella for champion sire Snitzel with a pair of unraced Magic Millions eligible colts fighting out the finish.

The Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou trained Blitzburg scored by half a length over Michael Freedman’s Offenbach with nearly five lengths to the third placed Telling, a son of first season sire Graff.

Gerald Ryan trained Snitzel and also his best son Trapeze Artist, so Blitzburg is in very good hands.

Blitzburg was a $500,000 Magic Millions purchase from Arrowfield stud for TFI/Ryan & Alexiou Racing Pty Ltd and the runner-up Offenbach came out of the same draft and made $650,000.

Blitzburg was a $500,000 Magic Millions purchase from Arrowfield.

Blitzburg is the first foal of Japanese import Sierra (Jpn), a placed half-sister to Group III winner Albert Dock and stakes-winner Mona de Oro from US Group I winner Golden Doc A, a sister to another US Group I winner in Unusual Suspect.

Sierra has a yearling colt by Snitzel and has foaled this spring producing a colt by The Autumn Sun.
