Boulder City Overview

With his first crop 2YOs ready to grace the track as part of the upcoming 2021-2022 season, Boulder City literally offers a rock-solid option to broodmare owners this year. 

On pedigree alone he is almost peerless. By Champion Australian Sire Snitzel (and the first son of Snitzel to stand in Victoria), the imposing Boulder City is also the maternal half-brother to triple Gr1 Cox Plate winning superstar Winx (from Vegas Showgirl). Boulder sity is also the only son of Snitzel to stand in Victoria for a fee under $10,000.

Snitzel is assured of making a massive impact as a sire of sires with the likes of Shamus Award, Sizzling, Russian Revolution, Spill The Beans and Wandjina all well supported in recent seasons.

And who can forget the deeds of Gr1 winner Trapeze Artist and Gr1 Golden Slipper winning filly Estijaab to add even further lustre to Snitzel.

As a $2.3 million dollar yearling, Boulder City obviously had the conformation to support his outstanding pedigree, but unfortunately was unraced due to a suspensory injury. 

Multiple Champion Trainer Gai Waterhouse heaped praise on the son of Snitzel, "Boulder City showed immense ability in his work, but his issues stopped him from getting to the track."

Meanwhile, Riverbank Farm Principal Russell Osborne notes, "[Boulder City] is a beautifully conformed stallion who we feel privileged to offer to the Victorian breeding industry."

Of course, Boulder City is also a full-brother to ill-fated Gr3 Kindergarten Stakes winner El Divino and at the introductory fee of only $5,500 inc GST he offers terrific value with so much upside. 

With his progeny already impressing many in the industry, coupled with a 90% fertility rate in his first 2 seasons at stud, he represents a terrific opportunity for astute breeders.
