Snitzel's Golden Weekend

     The son of Redoutes Choice has now almost certainly got the overall sires and two year old sires championship in the bag as his progeny recorded a group one and other stakes wins on the weekend. Redoutes Choice and Fastnet Rock are Danehill's and Australias flag bearing stallions internationally. They are winning group races all over the globe this week. There is a strong similarity in their bloodline, observing their dams line you will find Australias stamp with Nijinsky and Biscay appearing in both . Snitzel is definately attracting international buyers as shown at Scone on Saturday with Debonairly. 

• Debonairly -- American owners Peter Fluor and KC Weiner’s witnessed their two year old Snitzel filly Debonairly win the Listed Woodlands Stakes at Scone. They paid $320,000 for the filly at last year’s Magic Million sale and she is trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Then within minutes Snitzel's two year old son Tangled became the new favourite for the Group One J J Atkins Stakes following his strong win in the Group Two Champagne Classic at Doomben.

•  Redzel -- In the group one, Doomben 10000 , many thought Snitzel's three year old son Russian Revolution was the one to beat but it turned out his other consistent son Redzel who was ridden by Jim Byrne for trainers Peter and Paul Snowden, scored the half-length win over the fast-finishing Counter Attack by Redoute's Choice. Redzel advances his overall record to 7 wins, 4 seconds and 1 third from 17 starts with earnings of $1,194,450. Redzel was purchased by Triple Crown Syndications at the 2014 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling sale and he is a full brother to Group III winner Danerich being out of the former top class Rubiton mare, Millrich. The ten million dollar Everest is now on the agenda for Redzel.

• Vienna Miss --  Snitzel's 3yo daughter Vienna Miss sprung a big surprise in the 1600m  Listed Adelaide Guineas  at Morphettville. When she burst through a late gap and held off the very unlucky Foxwedge filly, Petition who didnt see daylight, until too late

• France -- At Scone Redoute's Choice colt France won the Inglis Guineas . He was a $475,000 Inglis Easter purchase bred by Newhaven Park. He claimed victory in  a scintillating last to first effort to win the $400,000 Inglis Scone Guineas.The Group I performed  Prized Icon was second.

• Stampede -- The son of High Chaparral  advanced his record to 5 wins and 3 seconds from 9 starts with earnings of $280,800 with a win in Saturday's Group III Chairman's Stakes 2000m at Doomben, The Wagga Gold Cup winner at his last start, held off the challenge of  another High Chaparral gelding, The Chairman. The Waterhouse and Bott trained 4yo has an excellent strike rate and stable spokesman says the Doomben Cup could be considered next week. An $80,000 purchase by G Waterhouse/J Harron/Round Table Racing at the 2014 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling sale. Stampede is the first foal of the Tale Of The Cat  mare Nothin' Leica Cat.

• Volatile Mix -- It was the third Group 1 South Australian Derby for Champion Victorian trainer Darren Weir and made it 48 stakes winners for Pentire. The sire of Weir's 2015 Melbourne Cup winner Prince Of Penzance who stands at Rich Hill Stud in New Zealand. Volatile Mix looks to have good staying promise and is now heading north to see if he can capture the double and win the Queensland Derby. He is out of a High Chaparral mare. Rich Hill Stud also stands the Melbourne Cup winning son of Street Cry, Shocking who scored with a few of his progeny on the weekend including his son Shocking Luck winning the Rough Habit Plate at Doomben. He is out of a Danehill mare so its an awesome combination and if i was purchasing staying blood in Australasia this is where i would be heading.

• Ashlor -- This son of Hard Spun does not know when to put up the white flag and on saturday was no different, he looked beaten halfway down the straight but kept fighting all the way. To add another victory to his tally. He has now won 6 of 9 starts and was very unlucky in the Euclase group 2, last start. Hard Spun is the last group one winning son of Danzig to stand at stud and I'm afraid Darley is not shuttling him to Australia anymore so if you want a service you will have to trek off to Jonabell Farm in Kentucky. It could be worth the trip with his son Timeline winning the G3 Peter Pan Stakes in the USA on saturday, and is now a winner in all three of his career starts.
