Snitzel - Via Africa by Var
Standing at: Newgate Farm
2024 fee: $27,500 inc. GST
Fee history: first year at stud
Overview
- The highest Timeform rated 3YO by Champion sire Snitzel in the last 5 years.
- In The Congo was rated even higher at three than Snitzel’s Champion 1st and 2nd Season Sire son Russian Revolution.
- The Fastest Winner of the Group 1 Golden Rose in HISTORY defeating Champion Anamoe & Blue Diamond winner Artorius.
- “He is exactly what Australian racing is all about: a fast, tough colt and he will make a great stallion.” – co-trainer Gai Waterhouse Sydney Morning Herald September 26, 2021
- “It was a terrific display of sustained speed,” – form analyst Daniel O’Sullivan on In The Congo’s win in the Group 1 Golden Rose
- “In The Congo is the best three-year-old sprinter I’ve ever trained. He consistently displayed A grade Group 1 form and incredibly raw speed for his entire three-year-old season. As a four-year-old it’s fair to say he didn’t come up as well and probably had other things on his mind. However, at three he was outstanding, beating the best and always displaying that brilliant, sustained speed. He is the profile of a stallion that we will be aggressively supporting in the yearling market in the years to come.”– co-trainer Adrian Bott
