Snitzel Filly Goes Two for Two

Tara Madgwick - Saturday May 2

Away Game is not the only talented Snitzel two year-old filly in the stable of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace with progressive filly Macroura going two for two when saluting at Randwick on Saturday.

A Breednet ‘One to Watch’ when winning on debut at Kembla last month, she hit the line hard to beat Snitzel colt Wild Ruler by a short neck in the open juvenile event over 1000 metres.

A homebred for Aquis Farm, Macroura runs for a big syndicate of owners including Aquis Farm and has already returned over $90,000 in prizemoney.



She is the first winner for Zenaida, a half-sister by Zabeel to New Zealand Horse of the Year and triple Group I winner Vosne Romanee.

Her second foal is an Exceed and Excel colt that Aquis sold last year as a weanling for $240,000 at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale to Ampulla Lodge.

Ampulla Lodge offered the colt Inglis Easter as Lot 298 where he passed in with a reserve of $400,000.

Zenaida has a weanling filly by Snitzel’s Group I winning son Invader, so she is a three-quarter sister to Macroura.

Snitzel is currently the leading sire in the country by earnings chasing his fourth straight Australian Champion Sire title and is also the leading sire of two year-olds.

Arrowfield Stud have priced him at $165,000 this spring.
