Highview Stud-based Mr Mozart has proved popular with breeders since retiring to his Waikato base and numbers-wise claims the strongest first-season sire representation at this week\u2019s New Zealand Bloodstock National Weanling Sale.<\/p>\n

Jamieson Park is the majority owner of the son of Snitzel, who has six youngsters in the auction, with selling to commence at Karaka at 11am on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\"Mr<\/p>\n

Other stallion newcomers are Cambridge Stud\u2019s Chaldean with two weanlings (Lots 3,54), Windsor Park Stud\u2019s Paddington will also be represented by a brace (Lots 116, 141), as will the Grangewilliam Stud-based Hilal (Lots 36,100).<\/p>\n

\u201cJamieson bred and raced Mr Mozart and raced the dam Euro Angel with the Hawkes team and a couple of other Australian friends,\u201d Jamieson Park\u2019s Dylan Ralph said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen she retired, she went to Snitzel and got Mr Mozart and we decided to retain and race him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Mozart won the Gr.2 Phar Lap Stakes (1500m), Gr.3 Doncaster Handicap Prelude (1500m), Gr.3 Hawkesbury Guineas (1400m) and the Listed Exford Plate (1400m) before retiring to Highview where he stands at $6,000 + GST.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has served 80 mares in each of his first two seasons, he\u2019s had great support at that price point,\u201d Ralph said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn March, Kurtis Gillovic (of Highview) and I went around and saw the majority of foals on the ground and were very pleased, and all the breeders were very complimentary of the stallion and keen to get back to him again this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s leaving good, medium size horses and he\u2019s a chestnut horse and running about 30 percent chestnuts to bays.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnitzel is currently leading his sixth two-year-old premiership and also leading his fifth general sires\u2019 premiership in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

As expected, Jamieson principal James Chapman has been a strong supporter of Mr Mozart.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got 14 quality mares in foal to him, including Group One winner Faint Perfume, who\u2019s already produced three stakes winners,\u201d Ralph said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also got the dam of Inspirational Girl, also a Group One winner in Australia, and another two stakes producing mares in foal to him and we\u2019ll probably have another 15 mares going to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really believe in the horse and won\u2019t be slowing down on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lot<\/a><\/p>\n

Jamieson will offer Mr Mozart\u2019s daughter (Lot 132) in their draft on Thursday while Haunui Farm has three (Lots 5, 25, 83) with one apiece from Brighthill Farm (10) and Leanach Lodge (Lot 78).<\/p>\n

\u201cHaunui has been a big supporter of the stallion and it\u2019s always good to have a stud like them in behind you,\u201d Ralph said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur filly is a lovely big, bay individual out of Lipstick Lover, who is an I Am Invincible mare and that Snitzel-I Am Invincible cross has been very good so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we went out and got a couple of I Am Invincible mares, and Lipstick Lover is a half-sister to Ilovethiscity, a Group One-winning sire.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a filly with plenty of bone and leg with a good walk and a nice head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamieson will also present an Ace High filly (Lot 119) out of a half-sister to stakes winner and Group One placegetter Evalina and a Sweynesse colt (Lot 140), whose dam is a sister to the Gr.1 Railway Stakes (1200m) winner Santa Monica, trained by Ralph\u2019s father Stephen. \u2013 LOVERACING.NZ News Desk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Highview Stud-based Mr Mozart has proved popular with breeders since retiring to his Waikato base and numbers-wise claims…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":489991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-489990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
