Milanesa makes it 10 for Snitzel
Arrowfield’s two first season sires have been tracking each other all season and two days after Starcraft posted his ninth individual winner, Snitzel clocked up No. 10 when his daughter Milanesa (ex Sheerama by Catbird) won a $100,000 maiden race against older horses at Eagle Farm.
Ridden by Jim Byrne, and trained by Paul Messara for Arrowfield Pastoral Pty Ltd & Paul Favretto, Milanesa settled last and wove her way through the field to score comfortably from Startsmeup (by Danzero ). She will now spell ahead of a spring campaign aimed at The Thousand Guineas G1.
Snitzel is a clear second on the Australian 1st Season Sires’ list with prizemoney of almost $1.2 million and is one of three sons of Redoute’s Choice among the top ten. Starcraft’s earnings of $840,430 place him sixth on the freshman sires’ table.
Snitzel, who has also had two winners from his Japanese crop foaled in 2008, stands at a 2010 fee of $27,500 (inc. GST), while Starcraft’s fee is $38,500 (inc. GST).
