Arrowfield 2011 sale graduates run hot

The great Australian breeding tradition of early-maturing speed is alive and well at Arrowfield & Bellerive Studs. The sister farms’ 2011 sale graduates have wasted no time making their presence felt on the track this season.

Yesterday at Canterbury Flying Snitzel ( Snitzel -Hula Flight by Hula Town) became the third debut 2YO winner sold under the Arrowfield/Bellerive banners in 2011.

The chestnut filly joins debut city winners Amorino (by Snitzel) & Members Joy (by Hussonet); Blazing Snitzel (by Snitzel), second on debut at Warwick Farm last month; Adelaide placegetter Cool Choice (by Redoute’s Choice ); and Snitzel’s daughter Snitzerland, a brave second at her first start in the VRC Ottawa S. LR on Cup Day at Flemington.

Owners & trainers seeking an early start to the 2012-13 racing season need look no further than the Arrowfield draft at the 2012 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale. The 27 catalogued lots include two colts & a filly by Snitzel, a colt and a filly by Hussonet, a colt by Redoute’s Choice, and eight yearlings by Starcraft , sire of today’s debut 2YO winner at Flemington, Sell In May.
