Son of Snitzel to stand his first season for $11,000
The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Bruckner (Snitzel) will stand at Widden Victoria this spring for a fee of $11,000 (inc GST).
The four-year-old has raced seven times for two wins and three placings with his biggest win coming in the Group 3 HDF McNeil Stakes (1100m). He also placed third in the Group 2 Danehill Stakes (1100m) before finishing second in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) in October 2021 behind Home Affairs ( Am Invincible).
"Bruckner had so much natural ability, a proper athlete. We never got to see what he could really do," said David Eustace.
"A magnificent looking animal with unquestioned Group I ability. For me, Bruckner ticks so many boxes. He's one of the best looking Snitzels you'll find and was a serious racehorse who we never saw the best of."
Widden Stud's Antony Thompson said: "We are delighted to add such a stunning looking son of Snitzel to our roster, having toped the Premier sale and performed so well at Flemington in Victoria's most important sire making race, Victoria is his rightful home."
A limited number of breeding rights are available.
