Snitzel - New Winner

The NZB Kiwi is set to have direct Australian involvement with the announcement on Wednesday that Ozzie Kheir has selected the Mitch Freedman-trained Asakura for his slot in the $4 million Champions Day feature.

Here is the full list of 28 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

The 1400m three year-old maiden at Warwick Farm on Wednesday was the first race on the program and also produced a debut winner in Satirically, who is the first foal of multiple Group winning mare Paradee.

The first foals by Mr Mozart are on the ground, and the reports from breeders have been overwhelmingly positive.

Wrote is enjoying another standout season, with results flowing both on the racetrack and in the sales ring.

The famed colours of Sir Peter Vela’s Pencarrow Stud were in the winner’s circle at Kembla on Tuesday carried by a well bred daughter of Savabeel.

The $5million Group I ATC Golden Slipper (1200m) was seen as a lottery this year with no clear standouts going into the race and luck in running seen as essential with that scenario played out in full with Snitzel filly Marhoona winning by a head over highly rated Wootton Bassett (GB) colt Wodeton with the favourite Tempted a close third beaten three-quarters of a length.

The Group One Oakleigh Plate (1100m) at Caulfield on Saturday is the second of the major autumn sprints in Melbourne and race favourite Point Barrow did not get the ideal barrier, drawing 10 in the final field of 14.

The West Australian breeding ranks were boosted in 2023 by the arrival of three superbly bred stallions – Aysar (Deep Field), Lightsaber (Zoustar) and Marine One (Capitalist) – and the trio have strong representation at the Perth Magic Millions Yearling Sale which kicks off on Thursday.

Trial watchers were well awake to the potential of well bred Snitzel filly Marhoona following her two trial victories in Sydney last month and she duly took that form to race day to post a debut win at Canterbury on Friday night.
