Worked the sales in Oz when Snitzel’s was just a middling 3rd season sire. I remember hearing buyers say they loved him 'on the track' but weren’t convinced he’d cut it as a sire. Many passed, unaware they were looking at the progeny of a future super stallion. RIP Snitzel.
Snitzel, Australia's four-time champion stallion, sire of 23 group 1 winners and 160 stakes winners to date, was euthanized June 11 at age 22 owing to age-related issues, chiefly a deterioration in the liver.

What a wild story. Is the Curragh public grounds? Even so, why can't management tell the people to leave? This makes no sense.
A large group of the traveling community has set up a campsite on the Curragh, forcing a major gallop to be closed, and group 1-winning trainer Willie McCreery has said it is only a matter of time before one of his staff is injured.

Journalism is not only the Kentucky Derby favorite, he is a modern symbol of resilience, chased from his home by wildfires, only to return, undeterred and unbothered. The name ain't bad, either. My story from Southern California.

Equibase has issued the handle figures for 2024 and here's the number that matters. When adjusting for inflation, handle has fallen by 57.3% since 2003. With CAWS killing off so many everyday players it's only going to get worse
