Description

ALMOST CRYSTAL is the Classy SYDNEY METRO PLACED 4yo daughter of SNITZEL with 7 starts for two 2nd's and two 3rd's in the toughest region in Australia!!


Her quality is no doubt a result of Elite breeding through SNITZEL, ZABEEL and GREEN DESERT combined with the Stallion producing 9C female line featuring 5 Time Group One winning Mare HABIBTI as the 3rd Dam. Habibti is half sister to EIGHT CARAT.


Almost Crystal unfortunately sustained a tendon injury after her last start and will require time if she is to get back to the racetrack.


As a breeding proposition she has obvious value and looks primed to be a quality producer which will be further enhanced by the fact SNITZEL'S Broodmare Sire stats are extremely impressive having already produced Golden Slipper winner MOSSFUN and Group 2 winner ALEX MY BOY from a handful of runners.


For more information on this quality mare please contact Dani.
