Best Ever Inglis Easter for Snitzel

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 8

Arrowfield Stud finished Inglis Easter as the leading vendor by aggregate and underpinning their success was the insatiable demand for their champion sire Snitzel, who might be turning 23 this year but has just posted his best ever results at this sale.
