Young Snitzel stallion Sword of State kicked off his stud career in the best way possible on Wednesday with an Aussie 2YO stakes-winner in Torture, but he’s not the only well credentialed son of Snitzel in New Zealand with Highview Stud home to Mr Mozart.
A multiple Group winner for Hawkes Racing, Mr Mozart scored a career highlight win in the Group II ATC Phar Lap Stakes and retired with earnings just shy of $800,000.
From an elite Black Type female family with his first two dams being Group III winner Euro Angel and stakes-winner Polish Princess, Mr Mozart has pedigree and race performance and stands at a fee of $6,600.
His first foals are being born in New Zealand this spring with a selection below from Highview Stud with images taken by Angelique Brisdon.
