The first foal of the former multiple Group I winner
Daffodil opened her account at Te Aroha in New Zealand on Wednesday.
Three year-old Pins filly Snowdrop carried the Waikato Stud colours to an
effortless maiden victory over 1000 metres at her third appearance.
"It was lovely to see her win like that, she's out of a very good mare and
she's not got the size and scope that Daffodil did, but based on that I'd say
she'll win more," said Garry Chittick, who bred Snowdrop with his son Mark.
"We've got three or four fillies out of her (Daffodil) and we like developing
those breeds we - get a lot of fun out of it."
Daffodil is pictured here at Waikato Stud with her 2012 filly by Pins that has
been named Daisy Chain.
Daffodil won the Group New Zealand 1000 Guineas, the Group I AJC Oaks and the
Group I Windsor Park Plate when trained by Kevin Gray. – NZ Racing Desk.
