Trainer Gerald Ryan’s affinity with progeny by his former Group One star Snitzel goes from strength to strength.

Ryan has done more than any other trainer to promote Snitzel, a horse he took to G1 honours in the Oakleigh Plate, to the top echelon as a stallion.

The Group and Listed winners by Snitzel to come out of the Ryan stable include Snitzerland, Hot Snitzel, Time For War, Dances On Stars, Flying Snitzel, Fireworks and Ygritte.

You can now add Spill The Beans to that list following his classy first-up win in the G3 Eskimo Prince Stakes at Randwick on Saturday.

His sire’s 34th stakes winner, Spill The Beans (Snitzel x Miss Dodwell by Falbrav) races in the Arrowfield Stud colours after he was retained by his breeders after he failed to make his reserve of $50,000 as a yearling.

He was later on offer to Hong Kong but his sale was vetoed after he failed x-rays due to an early injury.

“When he came to me he had a scar on a front joint from where he’d hurt himself but he’s never gone shin sore or had any issues,” Ryan said.

From the family of G1 winners Bounding Away, Glastonbury and Speak Fondly, he has now earned more than $219,000 from three wins in six starts.

He is the only stakes winner and one of two winners out of his winning dam Miss Dodwell, a half-sister to the Group winner Yammer (Bellotto) and Listed winner Blab (Flying Spur).

Blab is the dam of Flight Stakes winner Speak Fondly (Northern Meteor) and G2 winner Wild And Proud (Snowland).

Spill The Beans’s third dam is the G2 winner Who Can Say (Sovereign Edition), the dam of eight winners including the six-time G1 winner Bounding Away (Biscay).

Miss Dodwell has an unraced filly named Kenedna (Not A Single Doubt) in the Darren Weir stable, and also has yearling and weanling fillies by Smart Missile. She is in foal again to Snitzel.

• Snitzel was in high demand at the Classic Yearling Sale in Sydney on Saturday night when his half brother to Lady Jivago from Hussterics brought the top price of $170,000.

Louis Mihalyka’s Laurel Oak Bloodstock purchased the colt, a three-quarter brother to Saturday’s Newcastle winner Hussterical.
