Eight Winners for Sizzling

Tara Madgwick - Monday July 23

Third to only Spirit of Boom and Zoustar on the score of first crop winners and earnings this season, Snitzel's Group I winning son Sizzling racked up his eighth winner at Scone on Monday.

Prepared by Kris Lees, two year-old colt More Chilli took good benefit from a first up second earlier this month and was well fancied to win the 1100 metre open maiden.

He travelled just off the pace in third position and did best in a driving finish to win by a short head in the familiar colours of Australian Bloodstock.

A $72,500 Magic Millions purchase from the Raheen Stud draft for Australian Bloodstock, More Chilli is the first winner for good metropolitan winning Show a Heart mare Dayita.

Sizzling stands at a fee of $16,500 at Newgate Farm this spring.
