Snitzel Blueblood Goes Two for Two

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday March 27
Winning his second race at his second start at Warwick Farm on Wednesday was the Bjorn Baker trained three year-old Snitzel gelding Green Aeon, who was a One to Watch when winning ion debut at the same venue two weeks ago.

Green Aeon as a yearlingHe led all the way and coasted home to win the Benchmark 70 event over 1400 metres by three lengths.

"It's onwards and upwards from here," said stable representative Jack Bruce.

"We'll see how he comes through the run and take it one step at a time."

A $300,000 Magic Millions purchase for Magus Equine from the Sun Stud draft, Green Aeon was bred by Sledmere Stud and is a half-brother to Group I VRC Myer Classic winner Politeness. He is the fifth winner from Berengaria, a half-sister to Group II winner Thackeray and stakes-winner Fairytales, the dam of Group II winner Parables.

Berengaria is now with Sun Stud and produced a Snitzel filly for them last spring before visiting their young Snitzel stallion Thronum.
