Snitzel Sets New Benchmark

Mark Smith - Saturday May 20

A low key off season maiden at Newcastle it may have been, however, Pymble wrote his sire Snitzel into the record books as his 31st juvenile winner for the season.

Fittingly it was Snitzel's trainer Gerald Ryan that credited the son of Redoute's Choice with a new benchmark for two-year-old winners.

Last season, Snitzel equalled the record set by Without Fear.

Making his fourth start, Pymble defeated the Foxwedge colt Matchfox by three-quarter of a length.


A $360,000 purchase out of the Kitchwin Hills draft at the 2016 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Pymble is a half-brother to the Group I Myer Stakes winner Hurtle Myrtle (Dane Shadow).
