There's
not much racing on Good Friday, but there were a couple of stakes races in
Perth with the Group III WATC WA Sires Produce Stakes won by Snippetson gelding
Tinsnip.
A close second at his previous start in the Group II WATC Karrakatta Plate, the
Adam Durrant trained gelding did not have to deal with his conqueror on that
occasion Dig Deep, who was scratched from this race.
In his absence, Tinsnip grabbed his chance to shine and scored a short half
head win in the 1400 metre feature as favourite.
Retained to race by his breeder, Tinsnip has a win and three placings from six
starts with prizemoney in excess of $240,000.
A half-brother to Group III placed Mackenzie Brooke, he is the third winner
from stakes-winner Mabel Grace.
Tinsnip is the 13th stakes-winner for Snippetson who started his
stud career at Widden Stud, but is now based in Western Australia at Scenic
Lodge Thoroughbred Stud.
