SNITZEL leads the Way at ARROWFIELD STUD and in Australia

24 Apr 19

Arrowfield Stud today announced its 2019 roster of 11 stallions headed by Champion Sire Snitzel, whose fee is set at $220,000 inc GST.

Now with a $6.5 million lead in his bid for a third consecutive Australian Sires' Premiership, Snitzel continues to achieve exceptional sale-ring returns for breeders, with total yearling sales in the past three years of more than $100 million, including this year's $2.8 million Inglis Easter sale-topping colt out of Ichihara.

Arrowfield's Chairman John Messara says, "We are delighted with the racecourse and sale-ring results achieved for breeders, vendors, owners and trainers by Snitzel over the past 12 months.

"However, we are always mindful of the risks and additional costs of breeding and the highly competitive marketplace we work in, and that shapes our approach to setting fees."

Messara adds, "This is a pivotal year for us, the first time in two decades that Redoute's Choice is absent from our roster, and we look back with profound gratitude for all that he contributed to Arrowfield and the industry.

"Our 2019 roster is very much his legacy, with five of his sons and a grandson, and five other outstanding young stallions that 20 years ago even I could not have imagined we would stand at Arrowfield. Collectively, they give us 11 very good reasons to be confident and excited about the future."

The first yearlings by the Group-winning sprinter Scissor Kick (by Redoute's Choice) have been purchased for up to $150,000 this season. Scissor Kick's fourth season fee is set at $11,000 inc. GST.
