Seventh Winner for Sizzling

Mark Smith - Sunday July 22

It took the Neil Godbolt-trained Just Sizzling six trips to the races to shed his maiden status at Coffs Harbour on Sunday but it looked bleak when he saw the majority of the 13 starters ahead of him with three hundred metres left to run.

Terry Treichel weaved a passage between runners on Just Sizzling who overpowered Ted's Dream (dream Ballad) by a neck with Lose The Snip (Snippetson a neck back in third.

A half-brother to the recent South Grafton Cup winner Cogliere (Pluck), Just Sizzling is the third winner from four to race out of the Delago Brom mare Final Star who is a half-sister to the stakes-placed Palace Music mare Palace glow who is the dam of Group III winner and Group 1 South Australia Derby runner-up Red Colossus (Testa Rossa) and the dual Group III winner Nediym's Glow (General Nediym).

Currently third on the first season sires list on earnings, Sizzling has four stakes-placed juveniles while his tally of seven winners is bettered only by Spirit Of Boom and Zoustar.

The Group 1 winning son of Snitzel stands for a fee of $16,500 at Newgate Farm in the forthcoming spring.
