Leading Sydney trainer Gerald Ryan has three chances on Saturday to register his 100th win with progeny by his former stable star Snitzel.

It will be a big milestone for Ryan, who is widely known as 'Mr Snitzel' thanks to his 43 winners of 99 races and $8.3 million prizemoney by the Group One winning son of Redoute's Choice.

Ryan’s Saturday runners by Snitzel are Spill The Beans and Dances On Stars at Eagle Farm and Argie Bargie at Kembla Grange.

Ryan has trained nine of Snitzel's 38 stakeswinners and all of them, except Dances On Stars and Fireworks, were bred and sold by Arrowfield Stud:

Ryan’s black type stars by Snitzel include the outstanding sprinter Snitzerland (G1 VRC Lightning Stakes); G2 winners Time For War, Flying Snitzel, Perignon and Hot Snitzel who went on to win the G1 BTC Cup for Peter and Paul Snowden); and G3 winners Dances On Stars and Spill The Beans.

Ryan and his long term stable supporter Damion Flower bought Snitzel as a yearling for $260,000 at the 2004 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale.

Ryan then prepared Snitzel for 15 career starts for seven wins including the G1 Oakleigh Plate where he beat Virage de Fortune and Takeover Target.

"Damion and I said before we bought him as a yearling, if this horse can gallop he will make a stallion, so to see what he's doing is very pleasing,” Ryan said. “I'm very proud of him."

Ryan said Snitzel’s toughness, durability and speed were his best racing qualities. He was so sound and healthy when he retired that his vet record was almost blank.

"He doesn't stamp his progeny as types, but most of them are really athletic and, like him, they don't go shin sore,” Ryan said.

“They have pretty good temperaments. If they're feisty they improve with each prep.

"I train the Snitzels similar to how I trained him. When he galloped, he went fast, but I kept him sharp.

"Snitzerland went through from her breaker's prep to run second at her first start in a Listed Race on Melbourne Cup Day. She was so tough, and always did everything you wanted her to do,” he said.

"I also have a soft spot for Intertidal, Snitzel's first winner.

“I raced and trained his mum Miss Rainmaker, as well as her sire Hurricane Sky."

Second-crop filly Schiffer was special too.

"She was tough and so arrogant. I bought her So You Think daughter last year and she's the same,”he said. He has named the 2YO filly Schifty Thinker.

Gerald has bought and advised on the purchase of Snitzel's yearlings since the first crop went through the ring in 2009.

This year he joined Damion Flower's Jadeskye Racing to buy the $1.6 million Magic Millions Sale-topping colt by Snitzel out of Mirror Mirror.

However, his stable of Snitzels continues to draw from various sources.

Among his current 2YOs is the Corumbene Stud home-bred filly Samantha (Snitzel x Icedginger by Tale Of The Cat).

She is about to have her first trial and Ryan expects her to be making her mark on the track.

"Based on what she's shown me, she could be my best filly since Snitzerland,” he admitted.

Among Snitzel’s 2016 yearlings, the Mirror Mirror and Maid For Me colts and the Perfect Truth filly have all "broken in sensationally" according to Ryan.
