New Stakes-Winner for Double Danehill

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 6
The yearling sales are fast approaching and with so many yearlings now carrying a double cross of Danehill (USA) any news regarding this pattern of breeding is eagerly received by our audience particularly the emergence of this stakes-winner, who is the first to involve Snitzel.

Sweet RedemptionClassy mare Sweet Redemption (pictured Steve Hart) claimed her first Black Type win in the Group III ATC Festival Stakes at Rosehill over 1500 metres last Saturday.

A tough and competitive mare for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable, Sweet Redemption campaigned in four states last season as a three year-old earning Black Type with a second in the Listed Tasmanian Oaks at 2100 metres and a third in the Group III MVRC Alexandra Stakes at Moonee Valley over 1600 metres.

Sweet Redemption is no speedy squib.

She’s strong, sound and versatile with five wins and eight placings from 18 starts with prizemoney nearing $300,000.

She is the 46th stakes-winner for double Danehill and has a 3x4 double cross being by Snitzel from a daughter of Group I winner Danglissa, who is sired by Danzero.

The Danehill double cross involving Snitzel had previously enjoyed 66.7% winners to runners with 34 winners from 51 runners, but Sweet Redemption is the first stakes-winner bred this way.
