  • New Stakes-Winners for Snitzel and Zoustar

    Monday, 5th July 2021

    On a depleted weekend of feature racing because of the Sunshine Coast meeting's postponement to next weekend due to an unsafe surface, Arrowfield Stud's Snitzel (Redoute's Choice-Snippet's Lass, by Snippets) and Widden Stud's Zoustar (Northern Meteor-Zouzou, by Redoute's Choice) both added new stakes-winners to their respective honour rolls. Snitzel struck early with Sydney trainer Gary Portelli's Flemington raider Royalzel (Snitzel-Royal Tithe, by Show A Heart) in the Listed Taj Rossi Series Final. The exciting juvenile prospect was unleashed after being pocketed to become his multiple champion sire's stakes-winner #110 (43 of them 2YOs). Meanwhile, picking up his twelfth black-type winner for the season, Zoustar's strong 2020-21 continued courtesy of consistent sprinter The Astrologist (Zoustar-Aquada, by Flying Spur) who never looked in doubt when favoured to win the Listed All Victorian Sprint Series Final (1200m). Pinging the gates at the start of the straight six, the Leon and Troy Corstens-trained gelding relished the conditions to take his earnings over the half million-dollar mark.
