This colt is sired by SNITZEL, a four-time Champion Sire of Australia and four-time Champion Sire of 2YOs. With an outstanding 10% stakes winners-to-runners strike rate, he has produced 21 Group 1 winners, 153 stakes winners, 58 of those are 2YO winners. His elite progeny include champions like Trapeze Artist, Russian Revolution, Shamus Award, Shinzo, and Switzerland. Over the past five seasons, his 2YO stats include 73 winners and 15 stakes winners, proving his consistent success.
The colt’s dam, CHATEAU CHEVAL, by HIGH CHAPARRAL, is a half-sister to CASINO PRINCE, who sired All Too Hard. She also produced BEST OF BORDEAUX, the highest-rated 2YO colt of the 2021/2022 season. Best of Bordeaux was a Group 2 winner and Group 1 placegetter.
HIGH CHAPARRAL is the broodmare sire of 86 stakes winners, including 47 Group winners and 15 Group 1 winners. The Snitzel/High Chaparral cross has also produced Williamsburg, who has already surpassed $1.4 million in prizemoney.
With such an impressive pedigree, this colt clearly screams GOLDEN SLIPPER potential.
