Multiple stakes winner Snapper Sinclair was a faimilar figure in California, making three trips to the Breeders’ Cup there, in 2017, 2019, and 2021. The next time he appears on that major race day, he could be ponying runners in the Golden State. Snapper Sinclair, a popular blaze-faced runner campaigned throughout his career by Jeffrey Bloom’s Bloom Racing, was pensioned from stallion duty after a rare genetic mutation in his sperm rendered him subfertile. The 9-year-old, whose age and health made him suitable for a second career, was subsequently gelded and has arrived in California to begin training to work as a track pony, the Blood-Horse reported. :: Subscribe to the DRF Post Time Email Newsletter: Get the news you need to play today's races!  Snapper Sinclair covered 10 mares in his first and only season at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds, according to The Jockey Club’s Report of Mares Bred.
