$1.8Million for Lazzura Full Sister

Tara Madgwick - Monday Mar 30

Arrowfield Stud produced their first million dollar yearling of this sale at Inglis Easter on Monday when the Snitzel filly from Laguna Azzurra (Jpn) sold for $1.8million.

$1.8million Snitzel filly from Laguna Azzurra (Jpn).

The filly was bought by Equine Holdings and is the full sister to top class mare Lazzurra, who recently won the Group I ATC Coolmore Classic for B2B Thoroughbreds and has won $1.5million in prizemoney.

“They were bidding online, but it was very spirited bidding. I know she was a well-looked at  horse and they were plenty that were after her,” said Paul Messara.

“She's a lovely filly and obviously with the full sister winning the G1 Coolmore recently she’s got a lot of residual value and obviously a lot of racing upside as well.

“Snitzel is probably going to win the Premiership again this year, and even though he's gone, he's still leaving his mark on the racetrack, and fillies like this, they're going to be items you can't get again.”

Laguna Azzurra produced a colt last spring by Farnan and was then covered by Snitzel’s Group I winning son Switzerland.
