Description

Breaking Ground is a 3yo bay Gelding trained by Chris Waller.

He is by Champion Sire, SNITZEL out of the elite producing ZABEEL mare, Gypsy Tucker.

Lightly raced, Breaking Ground is a maiden winner who has also placed on two other occasions.

On 6th Oct 2022 at Mornington, Breaking Ground claimed his most significant win to date, defeating the winning and well-performed son of All Too Hard in MONDO.

As his pedigree suggests, we firmly believe that his 3YO Gelding will go to new heights as an older horse.

His ¾ relation GYPSY DIAMOND was an impressive 3YO but also grew into a group winning 4YO.

She claimed the Japan Racing Association P., Gr.3 (2000m beating Leebaz and Singing Flame) with notable placings in the Emancipation S., Gr.2 (1500m to Catkins and Amanpour), Liverpool City Cup, Gr.3 (1300m to It's Somewhat and Rudy), Murrumbidgee TC Wagga Wagga Gold Cup, L (2000m to Landlocked and Faust).

Of 4YO male racehorses alone, SNITZEL is the sire of 20 SW, 13 GW and 4 individual G1 winners such as RUSSIAN REVOLUTION, REDZEL, TRAPEZE ARTIST and WILD RULER.

His Broodmare Sire, ZABEEL, needs no introduction with his daughters producing older racehorses with impressive statistics of 44 SW, 24 GW and 5 individual G1 winners such as OCEAN PARK, DUNDEEL, DARCI BRAHMA, ART SUCCESS and HUMIDOR.

We are selling Breaking Ground as we have many young horses coming through the system which we would like to focus on and believe that he would suit a change of scenery.
