Snitzel equals long-standing record
Bukzel has made a winning debut at Newcastle to put her sire Snitzel in rare company.
The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained filly is the 30th individual two-year-old winner for Snitzel this season, equalling the record set by Without Fear in 1975-76.
Bukzel started the $1.55 favourite in Saturday’s Maiden Plate (1150m) on the Beaumont track and beat Bob’s Ticket by three-quarters of a length.
Snitzel has sired 29 juvenile winners in Australia this season and one in South Africa.
