Snitzanova All Courage in G3 Spring Stakes

Mark Smith - Saturday November 16

Breaking her maiden at her second start at Randwick-Kensington on October 30, Snitzanova graduated to a win in Saturday’s Group III New Zealand Bloodstock Spring Stakes (1600m) at Newcastle.

Ridden by Dylan Browne McMonagle for Ciaron Maher, the 3-year-old daughter of Snitzel was caught three wide the trip. Looking to be struggling at the 200m, Snitzanova kept finding under pressure to defeat the Nicconi gelding French Ruler with So You Think filly Dame Commander back in third.
