The
Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou-trained Williamsburg (Snitzel) is likely to back up in the
Gr1 Champagne S. next Saturday after an impressive victory in the
Listed Fernhill Mile.
WILLIAMSBURG - Winning the Fernhill
Next weekend’s Champagne Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) beckons for Williamsburg
(3 c Snitzel - Fenway by High Chaparral) after the colt became the
first two-year-old in more than 20 years to add the
Fernhill Handicap (Listed, 1600m) to his win in the T L Baillieu Handicap (Gr 3, 1400m) two weeks ago.
Ridden by
Kerrin McEvoy, Williamsburg took the Fernhill Handicap by a length and a quarter on Moko (Impending) with Russian Roni (Russian Revolution) five lengths from the winner in third.
The last to complete the double was
Clonmel (Thunder Gulch) for
Gai Waterhouse in 2000; he went on to finish second to his stablemate Assertive Lad (Zeditave) in the Champagne Stakes.
Co-trainer Gerald Ryan said, given how well
Williamsburg takes his racing, he was confident the colt would run well in the Champagne Stakes.
"He's tough, he cops his racing really well," Ryan said.
"When Kerrin first rode him in a trial, he said to me that whatever he does as a two-year-old, he'll be a better three-year-old. We aimed him at the two races, and he's delivered both times. If he comes through this race like he has before, I'll have no hesitation backing him up in the Champagne.
He's proven on heavy tracks, he's proven at a mile and he's proven he's tough. You only get one crack at a Champagne."
Williamsburg will face a far tougher assignment next week when he tackles
Fireburn (by Rebel Dane), who will be aiming to become the first horse
since Pierro a decade ago to sweep Sydney’s juvenile scene with the Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m), ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) and the Champagne Stakes.
Snitzel as a sire continues to make headlines. Fresh from his amazing
$717,000 Inglis Easter Sale Average, the Snitzel train keeps rolling as
Williamsburg recorded Snitzel’s 23rd stakes win of the season.
WILLIAMSBURG - The Schweppervescence, (Baillieu Hcp) 1400m Group 3
Williamsburg was a
$470,000 Inglis Easter purchase by Tony Fung Investments.
Incredibly, he’s also became the 120th Individual Stakes Winner – the 16th Individual Stakes Winner this 2021-22 racing season – and he recorded the 23rd Stakes Win of the season for his Champion Sire Snitzel.
At the 2022 Inglis Melbourne Premier Team Dynamic add another super Stallion Prospect to our team of 2022 yearling purchases when purchasing a
sensational SNITZEL Colt.
LOT 77 is now Dynamic - SNITZEL x MARCIA PROBA Chestnut Colt after we purchased him
Lot 77 a cracking chestnut colt with a huge pedigree page.
SNITZEL needs know introduction as Australia’s Champion Sire.
SNITZEL standing at stud
Standing for a Service Fee of
$220,000 in 2019 when this Colt was conceived,
SNITZEL has been Champion Australian Sire on 4 occasions and is
currently Australia’s leading sire of Stakes Winners again this season with
16 to date along with
being the leading sire of 2yo Winners and leading sire of 3yo Winners and has earnings of over $10m.
Lot 77 from the
Melbourne Premier is from the
brilliantly related mare MARCIA PROBA, who is a daughter of the wonderful producer FLIDAIS (by Timber Country).
MARCIA PROBA is the Dam of 4 foals to race to date = 3 Winners and 1 placegetter.
Importantly, this means our COLT we purchased is:
1. A three-quarter-brother to sensational race filly SWEET IDEA (f by Snitzel), a Gr1 winner, 4-time Gr2 winner, and the Magic Millions Winner with $2.45m in earnings.
SWEET IDEA
2. A three-quarter-brother to super racehorse SHOWTIME (c by Snitzel) and current stallion standing at Arrowfield Stud. He was a dual Gr2 Winner and twice Gr1 placed.
SHOWTIME
3. A three-quarter-brother to SWEET SISTER – Dam of Stakes Winner SUPREME IDEA.
SUPREME IDEA
4. He is also closely related to Stakes Winner RUSH (g Charge Forward).

Our contracted veterinarian Dr Tim Roberts gave us the green light to buy the colt after reading his
42 X-rays in the repository, and viewing the
videoscope of his upper airway prior to the sale commencing.
Adam Watt & Dr Tim Roberts
Tim Roberts rated the colt highly and Adam Watt loved the colt on type, and with
clean X-rays and clean endoscopic evaluation, it was on our list,
but we really didn’t believe we had the firepower to buy him.
Such is the nature of yearling auctions;
you always must be there and have a go.
We note with interest the bidding war came down to ourselves and
the under-bidder, who was Lindsay Park (Ben and JD Hayes).
Offered for sale by
successful boutique Hunter Valley operation FERNRIGG FARM at Denman,
this colt is the
result of a
FOAL SHARE AGREEMENT between the
registered breeder and Arrowfield Stud, so
as per all foal share agreements, he was
offered for unreserved competition.
We had valued the colt so highly we made him our main target at the Premier Sale, which after the first two hours was
averaging $167,000 and had a Median of $160,000 when this colt entered the salering.
We market appraised him in this strong market to be a
$250,000 colt which was over our self-imposed ceiling price cap of
$220,000.

However, when the hammer fell, Lot 77 was now Dynamic, at our bid of $210,000 + GST some $40,000 under our market price appraisal.
Followers of Dynamic Syndications will be aware that this COLT is extremely closely related to another colt we purchased earlier this year, being by THE AUTUMN SUN x FLIDAIS.

THE AUTUMN SUN x FLIDAIS Colt
That colt is also a three-quarter-in-blood relation to SWEET IDEAL and SHOWTIME.
We purchased him for $200,000 + GST and he was sold out in 48 hours.
The difference this time being LOT 77 is a son of Australia’s Best Sire - SNITZEL.
Our latest purchase in addition to having a wonderful commercial pedigree page, and being a genuine stallion prospect should he earn black-type, as per our reason for purchasing him in the first instance, is that genetically - he is also bred to be superior.
He has an A+++ Enick and A+++ Geonick rating.

you would always want to have as many opportunities as possible of success in your favour than the alternative.
