Stakes Goals Next for Snitzel 2YO Winner

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 22

The TAB Racing Club could be in for an exciting couple of months with their juvenile filly In Haste, with the daughter of Snitzel set to tackle some stakes assignments following her dominant win at Matamata on Wednesday.

Lining up in a field of five in the Entain/NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race (1200m), In Haste was taken straight to the front where jockey Craig Grylls dictated the pace throughout. In Haste quickly put several lengths on her rivals at the top of the straight and ran out a comfortable 4-1/4 length victor.

Grylls was pleased with In Haste’s maiden victory, having guided her to a runner-up result on debut, and the leading Waikato hoop believes a bright future is instore for the filly.

“She relaxed really nice, which is good, and she found a really good kick off the turn,” he said. “It was pretty easy and she has got a bright future I think.”

Sam Bergerson, who trains In Haste in partnership with Mark Walker, was rapt with the result on their home track and he now has his sights on the Group II J Swap Contractors LTD Matamata Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) with his filly next month.

“She was very tractable and showed a really good turn of foot,” Bergerson said.

“It’s onwards and upwards for her and hopefully we can get her back here in a few weeks’ time for the Matamata Breeders.”

Bergerson said it is exciting to have a promising filly for the TAB Racing Club, an Entain Australia and New Zealand initiative which promotes racehorse ownership among TAB customers, mirrored off the success off their Ladbrokes Racing Club in Australia, and is free to join.

“What they are doing for racing is massive, so to get a result like that with a filly who’s hopefully going to go on to better things is really exciting,” he said.

In Haste was a $400,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Newgate Farm.

In Haste was purchased by Ladbrokes Racing Club from the Newgate draft at Inglis Easter for $400,000, with the leading Australian farm remaining in the ownership of the filly.

While pleased with In Haste’s performance, Bergerson was left frustrated with stablemate Born To Be Royal’s run, despite her runner-up result.

“She seemed to find a lot of trouble unfortunately during the run,” he said. “She looked like she was going to get the gun run in behind the speed, but got shuffled back and on the corner she got held up.

“She was good late, she has got a big, lovely stride on her and we certainly think she is capable of better. I think she will take great benefit from today’s outing.”

Bred by SF Bloodstock, In Haste is a half-sister to Group I winner Prompt Response, Group III winner Prompt Return and stakes-placed Diamond Glow being the seventh winner from seven to race from good producing Exceed and Excel mare Prompt.

Prompt has not had a living foal in the past two seasons and was covered last spring by Stay Inside.
