SNITZEL is Australia’s top sire again.  He led Australia’s four major sires’ titles last season, for earnings, winners, wins and two-year-old earnings stamping himself the best sire son of his champion sire Redoute’s Choice. With Snitzel’s service fee now $220,000 (at Arrowfield Stud, Scone), many broodmare owners are looking toward which of his stud sons will take on his mantle.  Major commercial stud owners/operators have been staking their claim that Snitzel will prove the dominant sireline branch to the great Danehill – his grandsire, and of which are now commanding high service fees for these young stud sons.
