All Good Things Come to An End

Tara Madgwick - Sunday July 18

As one door closes for this champion sire, another is about to open.

Arrowfield Stud’s flagship sire Snitzel has been champion Australian sire by earnings for the past four seasons, but will lose his crown this year with a fourth place finish behind Written Tycoon, Not a Single Doubt and I Am Invincible looming as the likely result.

Snitzel will however take some consolation from his status as the leading sire of Australian two year-old winners with just two weeks of the season to run.

Snitzel has posted 20 Australian juvenile winners headed by Group II winner Four Moves Ahead and stakes-winner Royalzel, while in New Zealand he’s been represented by Group I winning colt Sword of State.
