Good afternoon Owners and friends.
The time has come to finalise the ownership of this beautiful filly. You have seen all the promo videos over the past month and now it is time to make the decision. As always, no pressure but it would be a waste to see others from outside the current ownership group to not, take advantage of the more than generous offer:
Gerald and Stirling to train, "bargain of the sale, Very happy to train her!" Gerald Ryan.
"I haven't got a better filly to look at!, on type you wouldn't get a better Snitzel " Jerry Harvey.

Snitzel x Savannah River 2021 Filly. Below is the link with all the details about the horse and steps to secure your share.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Despite selecting her predominantly on type (physique) her page speaks for itself. Please see below an independent analysis of her pedigree.
Finding a catalogue page with a more potent and proven mix of the best Australasian bloodlines than the Snitzel – Savannah River filly would be a task. While the star on the page is undoubtedly New Zealand’s Champion Sire both on the track and in the sale ring, Savabeel, Savannah River brings unquestionable speed to the family as a daughter of Encosta De Lago whose sire line has produced the likes of Northern Meteor, Zoustar, Yes Yes Yes, Deep Field and current star Jacquinot. Savannah River showed her liking for a short course when winning over 1100 metres at Warwick Farm. Interestingly this cross of Snitzel over Encosta De Lago has produced Invader, Summer Passage and Sword Of State, all Group 1 winning two-year-olds.
The filly’s grandam Savannah Success won the prestigious New Zealand Bloodstock Filly of the Year award for consistent excellence as a three-year-old, a season highlighted by wins in the Group 1 New Zealand Oaks at Trentham, and the Group 1 Storm Queen Stakes at Rosehill. She went on to produce nine individual winners headed of course by Savabeel, a son of Zabeel, a grandson of the great Sir Tristram and a rare winner of the Group 1 W S Cox Plate as a three-year-old. The Cox Plate is recognised as Australasia’s weight-for-age championship and it takes a very special three-year-old to win it.
Savabeel has picked up the baton from his sire and grandsire to be the most influential stallion in New Zealand of his time and getting access to his blood at reasonable cost is becoming more and more difficult. Amongst Savannah Success’ other winners is Arlington a five-time winner who went to stud off the back of his third in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas.
I have no doubt the majority of the stamina back in the family comes through Semipalatinsk, a noted staying influence. He is the sire of your filly’s third dam Alma Mater, winner of the Group 3 Adrian Knox Stakes at Randwick over 2000 metres. Alma Mater is also notable as the grandam of West Australian warrior and six-time Group 1 winner Black Heart Bart. Although Semipalatinsk is American bred, his sire linage goes back to Star Kingdom, the great breed shaping stallion in post-war Australia.
This pedigree provides a wonderful mix crossing the speed of four-time Champion sire Snitzel with the influence of Encosta De Lago, as mentioned already a cross that has produced three Group 1 winners, but is then enhanced by adding the stamina of Zabeel, Sir Tristram and Semipalatinsk. While sprinting would most likely be her forte, it would be no surprise to see her ancestry kick in and she gets over a mile or further.
As you are aware but I have to say it, horse ownership is a high-risk industry, despite all the care in the world offered by our diligent team. Please also consider your personal circumstances.
