It's Not Often They Agree!

Media Release - Sunday September 25

Several of the industry's leading players have visited Kitchwin Hills in recent weeks and all have been blown away by how second-season sire Time For War has let down into the spitting image of his great sire Snitzel.

Leading bloodstock agent Sheamus Mills believes the dual Group 2-winning juvenile has every chance of succeeding at stud, especially on the back of his first foals, who, as you will see from the video, he's really stamping.

Time For War was saddled by Gerald Ryan to win the Pago Pago Stakes and the Sires' Produce Stakes, in which he beat subsequent Group 1 winner Brazen Beau in a time that was equal to ten lengths faster than Zoustar achieved the year before.

He boasts a strong pedigree to go with his good looks, being a son of the multiple winning Zabeel mare Lady Zabelia as well as sharing his page with top-class pair Mosheen and Might And Power.
