The cleverly named Curvature (Snitzel x Orbiting Belle by Spinning World) had been placed three times in his first four starts including a Listed second in February.

China Horse Club bought him for $300,000 from the Three Bridges draft at the 2015 Melbourne Premier Sale.

Snitzel's 25 Australian 2YO winners in 2015/16 are headed by Group winner El Divino and debut stakes winner Modern Wonder.

Heavenly Blue, his only juvenile runner in South Africa this season, won first-up from the Mike de Kock stable last month.

Snitzel has already equalled Not A Single Doubt's 16-year record of 25 Australian juvenile winners, set during the 2013/14 season, and he now has more than six weeks to build an even more significant tally.

Not A Single Doubt has a comfortable lead on the General Sires' list by winners with 140, and heads the 3YO Sires' table by winners (52) and earnings ($4.2 million).

Not A Single Doubt (2nd), Redoute's Choice (7th) and Snitzel (9th) all sit inside the top ten on the Australian General; Sires' premiership by prizemoney with collective season earnings of almost $27 million
