South African Double for Snitzel

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday Oct 20


Champion sire Snitzel had a winning double at Kenilworth in South Africa on Wednesday with full siblings Stiptelik and Real Gone Kid both saluting for their owner breeder Ridgemont Highlands.
 


Both horses are trained by Brett Crawford, three year -old filly Stiptelik making a winning debut over 1000m and scoring by a length.

Four year-old Real Gone Kid is building a tidy record scoring his fourth win from eight starts when powering clear to win the 1000m Pinnacle Stakes by three and a half lengths as favourite.
 



They are the first two foals from Champion South African 3YO Filly In the Fast Lane, a dual Group I winning half-sister by Jet Master to Group I winner and Champion 3YO Colt Let’s Rock’n Roll as well as Group II winners Light the Lights and Keep on Dancing and two more stakes-winners.

In The Fast Lane was exported from Australia in 2019 to Ireland.
