Snitzel x Nanyo Venus
Colt
Purchased for $180,000.00 at the 2026 Sydney Inglis Classic Yearling Sale
Secured at the 2026 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, this imposing bay colt is by four-time Champion Australian Sire Snitzel, a stallion whose influence at the elite level is well established. The sire of 160+ stakes winners and 25 individual Group 1 winners, including Trapeze Artist, Redzel, Russian Revolution, Wild Ruler, Estijaab and Sweet Idea, Snitzel consistently produces high-class, precocious performers with speed and commercial appeal
He is out of Nanyo Venus (JPN), a daughter of Rulership from an accomplished Japanese family littered with black type.
The second dam, Admire Fukky, is a half-sister to an extraordinary group of elite performers including. Neorealism, Group 1 winner of the HKJC Queen Elizabeth II Cup and multiple Group 2 winner. Real Impact, Dual Group 1 winner of the George Ryder Stakes and Yasuda Kinen. I’ll Love Again, Stakes winner and Group 1 placed sprinter and from the same immediate family as Indy Champ, Champion Sprinter & Miler in Japan and dual Group 1 winner.
This is a pedigree steeped in international Group 1 class, particularly at the mile to 2000 metres, blending elite Japanese durability and class with the proven Australian speed of Snitzel
Importantly, Nanyo Venus is already the dam of three winners from three to race, including multiple metropolitan winners in Australia, underlining the mare’s ability to produce sound, capable performers
Physically, this colt is a standout for his already mature frame. Tall, athletic and leggy, he carries natural presence and scope, standing over ground with balance and a fluent action. He is forward and well-developed without being overdone, and there remains clear upside as he continues to strengthen and furnish into his powerful frame.
A colt that combines an imposing physique with genuine international black type depth, an opportunity to secure Snitzel quality backed by one of Japan’s most accomplished families.
