A handsome bay first foal colt out of
champion 3yo filly FIRST SEAL has topped the Australian Easter Yearling sale at
$1.8 million.
Sale Topper - $1.8 million Snitzel x First Seal Colt purchased by Coolmore Stud
Coolmore Stud boss Tom Magnier was the successful bidder for the colt by champion sire Snitzel from the champion filly after a determined bidding duel.
First Seal (by Fastnet Rock) was bought as a yearling for
$700,000 at Karaka and was given time to mature by John Thompson, starting just once at two for a fourth placing.
FIRST SEAL - 3 times beat WINX home to claim Champion Female Sprinter in 2015-16
As a spring three-year-old,
First Seal famously had the better of Winx beating her home three times including the Group 1 ATC Flight Stakes and the Group 2 ATC Tea Rose Stakes.
She was crowned
Champion Female Sprinter in Australia in 2015-16 finishing with
6 wins including a
Gr1 and 4 x Gr2 races.
First Seal retired with overall earnings of $1.2million and this Snitzel colt is her first foal.
First Seal has an I Am Invincible colt to follow but won’t have a foal this spring after missing last season.
The result is the highest priced sale this year for Snitzel.
This pedigree is one of the most desirable in the Australian Stud Book and Dynamic Syndications have a wonderful mare closely related to FIRST SEAL.

SPECIAL EPISODE is by Redoute’s Choice and is the Winning 3/4 SISTER to FIRST SEAL.
Therefore, when TELEPLAY eventually retires to be a broodmare, she will be highly desirable and should the breeder send her to SNITZEL they will create a 3/8 relation-in-blood to the 2020 Inglis Easter $1.8million Sale Topping Colt.
