Mr Mozart's debut weanling draft was very well received at Karaka last week.
The Group winning son of Snitzel, was the leading first season sire by average (three or more sold) and fifth sire by average overall. His six progeny on offer all sold, averaging $23,917, with five of the six fillies!
Pictured above is his top priced lot, the filly out of O'Pristine (O'Reilly) which Haunui Farm sold to Mishani Enterprises Pty Ltd (Queensland) for $40,000.
James Chapman bred and raced Mr Mozart and also raced his dam Euro Angel with the Hawkes team and a couple of other Australian friends. When she retired, she went to Snitzel and he got Mr Mozart and he decided to retain and race him.
Mr Mozart won the Gr.2 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m), Gr.3 Doncaster Handicap Prelude (1500m), Gr.3 Hawkesbury Guineas (1400m) and the Listed Exford Plate (1400m) before retiring to Highview
He served 160 mares total in his first two seasons, and he’s had great support at his price point.
Snitzel is currently leading his sixth two-year-old premiership and also leading his fifth general sires’ premiership in Australia.
As expected, James Chapman has been a strong supporter of Mr Mozart.
He's got 14 quality mares in foal to him, including Group One winner Faint Perfume, who’s already produced three stakes winners, plus the dam of Inspirational Girl, also a Group One winner in Australia, and another two stakes producing mares in foal to him.
Haunui has also been a big supporter of the stallion and it’s always good to have a stud like them in behind him.
Mr Mozart stands at Highview for $6,000 +GST again this spring.
