Updated to 4 May 2013 - from 4 Australian crops of racing age
Snitzel was last season's Australia's Champion 3rd Season Sire and his spectacular rise continues in 2012/13: he's holding his own alongside his champion sire Redoute's Choice in the current top 10 on the General list with $5 million+ prizemoney and a season tally of 11 stakeswinners. That includes 5 Group winners and a Group 1 performer from each of his 2nd, 3rd & 4th crops.
Snitzel has set major Australasian sale-rings alight in 2013 too, with 31 yearlings averaging almost 9 times his 2010 fee. They included his first $1 million yearling, the powerful La Bamba colt, purchased by James Harron for Dr & Mrs Bateman's select stable. Like his precocious, professional and classy progeny, Snitzel the sire is going places, fast.
