I don't often follow the breeding but I'll keep a look out for Snitzel's runners.
The Cape Town Met is going to be a cracker this year. Unbeaten filly Summer Pudding is up against the big guns like Do It Again, Belgarion and Rainbow Bridge as well as highly rated 3 year old star Malmoos.
Will be her biggest test yet but she's won 9 out of 9 and I'll be backing her to make it 10.

I'm chuffed, backed a horse called "Traces" in R7 run at Greyville yesterday. Grabbed it at 7/1.
Thought I'll give you the heads up about the breed. The sire "Snitzel" has twice been Australian sire of the year, he's from the impeccable "Danehill" line. There's another brilliant sire along those same lines named "Redoute's Choice" but here's the thing......"Snitzel" leans to producing sprinters, his offspring are great over the 1000 to 1200 meters and a bit. Both of these two outstanding sires have offspring racing in South Africa.
Good luck.
