The sires of the three internationally bred runners in next Saturday’s Gr1 Sun Met are currently all in the top three of the Australian championship. Snitzel (Heavenly Blue), High Chaparral (Cascapedia) and Street Cry (Oh Susanna) are at 1st, 2nd and 6th positions respectively.
Cascapedia – one of 3 international breds
Arrowfield reigning champion Snitzel has broken the $15 million barrier as they head towards the halfway mark of the season, maintaining a strong lead. In second position is Coolmore’s ill-fated High Chaparral, who made a major move up the leader board after the wins of Rekindling in the Melbourne Cup and Ace High in the Victoria Derby in the spring.
The standings:
(1) Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice) – $15,264,526
(2) High Chaparral (Sadler’s Wells) – $9,337,049
(3) I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) – $7,542,245
