Description

A FAST, high-class STAKES PLACED daughter of record-breaking stallion SNITZEL boasting an impressive race record.

- 3-time winner up to 1100m as a 3YO including a decisive win over the Stakes-placed Invictus Salute at Randwick over 1000m.

- Stakes-placed as a 4YO when 2nd in the Group 3 Triscay Stakes to 3-time GSW Sweet Deal with the likes of Pohutukawa, Dawn Dawn, Noire, Sweet Scandal, Fiesta etc in arrears.

Snitzel is the sire of over 100 career SWs and the broodmare sire of the G1 Golden Slipper winner Mossfun. Daughters of Snitzel have sold up to $550,000 off the track at the 2020 broodmare sales.

Her dam, Happy Hippy, is a 2-time Stakes winning and G1 placed daughter of world-class broodmare sire Shamardal. Daughters of Shamardal are responsible for 49 Stakes winners worldwide including 5 G1 winners.

Spiritual Pursuit hails from a strong female family with half-sisters by the likes of Exceed And Excel, All Too Hard and a Hellbent yearling to come. Her unraced 2YO by Capitalist was a $140,000 purchase from the Classic Yearling Sale and is in training with Richard & Michael Freedman.

She is a hugely exciting prospect to join any broodmare band.
