Sir Delius returns to the races at Randwick on Saturday to contest the $300k Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes over 1600m and he is thriving ahead of his return.
We love Snitzel and he loves us! Arrowfield's Champion Sire has sired 143 stakes winners in Australia and some 14 of those (1 in 10) have come out of our Tulloch Lodge school of athletic excellence! Of his 19 Group 1 winners, Gai and Adrian between them have trained three (1 in 6).
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
Our colt has completed his early education in our Goulburn 2YO system as at 20 March and is now enjoying a well deserved month off. He will visit Randwick in his next educational preparation next month.
Please note this colt is a rig (one descended testicle). Another son of Snitzel at stud, Group 1 winner Wild Ruler, is a good example of a rig performing well on the racetrack and with his fertility as a stallion. He was syndicated to stud for over $10m.
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.
Exciting career opportunities await you at one of Australia’s most iconic racing stables
SENIOR ACCOUNTS MANAGER In this role, you’ll play a vital part in keeping the financial wheels turning behind the scenes of a fast-paced, high-profile stable. From managing payroll and reconciling accounts to liaising with racing bodies and overseeing prizemoney distributions, your work will directly support the day-to-day operations of a leading trainer.
HR, PEOPLE & CULTURE MANAGER This is more than just a HR role, it’s an opportunity to shape a workplace culture that supports high achievement, strong relationships and day-to-day excellence in a fast-moving, high-performance environment. You’ll be the go-to person for our team, ensuring every individual feels supported, empowered and part of something exceptional.
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.
These are just two examples of how Gai and Adrian's unmatched eye for European talent translates into significant returns and unforgettable moments on the Australian turf for their owners.
Over the past week, Gai and Rob have been inspecting horses entered in the sale and as always, the quality is high. Not all the horses in the sale have entries to race next week at Royal Ascot, and first and foremost, our aim is to secure a top-class stayer who can go on to win Group 1 races for us Down Under, but there is nothing more exhilarating than having a runner at Royal Ascot, and the Goffs London Sale gives you the opportunity to do so.
This is your exclusive invitation to REGISTER YOUR INTEREST in joining our Bloodstock team as we prepare for the 2025 Goffs London Sale. Don't miss this opportunity to secure your next European superstar.
