TBNSW - Stallion of the Month - Sandbar

Media Release - Friday Oct 2

A stakes-winning two-year-old and three-year-old by champion sire Snitzel, Sandbar stands at Kooringal Stud.

From Group 3-winning Street Cry (IRE) mare Tallow, Sandbar is importantly a three-quarter brother to Farnan – the 2019-20 Australian Champion 2YO and Leading First Season Sire in his freshman year.

Trained by Brad Widdup, Sandbar raced 21 times for four wins, three seconds and more than $525,000 in prizemoney. Winning on debut at Canterbury, he followed that up with victory in the Listed Lonhro Plate and was also runner-up to Written By in the G3 Pago Pago.

He kicked off his three-year-old campaign winning the Listed Rosebud, and ran second in the G2 Roman Consul behind Sesar before running a gallant fourth in the Group I Golden Rose behind The Autumn Sun.
