Our 2025 Snitzel Stack
Snitzel has given us the likes of In The Congo, Wanjina, Sweet Idea, Prost, Thronum, Castlereagh Kid, Taikomochi, Sweet Redemption, Arbeitsam, Dark Eyes, El Divino, Royal Tribute, Farson and Debonairly.
The Golden Slipper:
Marhoona's Slipper win last weekend should have come as no surprise in hindsight. We have been lucky enough to win this race 8 times in the last 24 years (one in three ratio), including 3 of the last 10 runnings. Of the 6 times we have not been victorious, Snitzel beat us 3 times via Marhoona, Shinzo and Estijaab - also roughly a 1 in 3 ratio over the last decade. Boy, what a formidable stallion he is.
2025 Plan Of Attack = Snitzel Stack:
We went into the 2025 yearling sales series with a renewed focus on securing the progeny of Snitzel, having missed out on as many as we would have liked by this great sire in recent years.
At Magic Millions we secured his highest priced filly out of Sweet Sherry for $1.6m, after underbidding his highest priced colt at $2.8m. We were strong on his best colts earlier in the sale securing Best Of Bordeaux's full-brother for $650,000, Hartnell's half-brother for $600,00, and a colt out of star producer Heart Of Thrills for $600,000. All we believe would have made more had they sold later in the sale.
There were a further 3 Snitzel's that we are very grateful to have been given this year to train, all cost in excess of $500,000 at public auction.
Value:
We aim to be active on his progeny again at Easter, although we expect they will be hotter than ever. It was just last weekend that Snitzel sired another Slipper winning filly, along with his first Hong Kong Derby winner, Cap Ferrat.
Herein lies the value in the last remaining shares we have in the following Snitzel colt from Magic Millions that is bred so well, how does he miss? He also has the advantage of already been educated and set up for early success.
Magic Millions - Lot 309
Snitzel x Debonnaire colt (rig)
Vendor: Arrowfield
Price: $600,000
Shares available: 25%
Profile: Triple Crown 2YO, Golden Rose, Guineas & Cox Plate as a 3YO
- Bred in the purple by the Champion sire Snitzel from a mare whose 6 winners include 4 stakes horses; 4 x Group 1 winner Hartnell (Authorized), Listed winner and Group 1 placed Roz (Teofilo), stakes performed Ursula (Tapit), and Tulloch Lodge's own Dominetta (by Zoustar and Debonnaire's first Australian bred foal) who is multiple Group placed and from 7 career starts has contested two Group 1 races this season
- Arrowfield have sold two of Snitzel's four Group 1 winners in the last 12 months = Switzerland and Lady Shenandoah

His sire "does not miss", nor does his dam, coupled with this colt's size and strength, we think this son of Snitzel has a great chance of making you and your fellow owners front and centre in the mounting yard on Australia's biggest race days.
We are so glad to have secured him for our stable and owners.
Happy Racing,

2025 Goffs London Sale: Register Your Interest
Imagine the thrill of cheering home a Group winner you secured from the world's most prestigious boutique sale. That's the reality for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott's owners who have consistently unearthed top class Australian racing prospects from the Goffs London Sale.
Why the Goffs London Sale? It's a proven pipeline to success. Look no further than our results with recent acquisitions:
MILITARY MISSION (IRE): Secured for just £170,000, he went on to become a multiple Group 2 winner of the Zipping Classic and Herbert Power Stakes, and a Group 3 winner of the Newcastle Gold Cup and Hobart Cup, banking over $1.5 Million for his connections.
NEW ENDEAVOUR (IRE): A £260,000 purchase who has already earned over $775,000. He recently powered to victory in the Group 3 Lord Mayor's Cup at Eagle Farm and was a close second in the 2024 Group 1 Doomben Cup. He lines up in this weekend's Group 2 Q22 worth $1.2 Million.
