BJORN BAKER TRAINS THIS STUNNING $1.4M YEARLING, NOW A 6 TIME PLACED 3YO SON OF SNITZEL WITH A $100,000 INGLIS XTRA MAIDEN BONUS TO WIN!
He was offered on an Inglis Digital Auction after initially purchased by James Harron and Co. as a Stallion prospect but subsequently needed gelding.
EVERYBODY RISE is a regally bred son of multiple Champion sire Snitzel and is a full-brother to dual Group 1 winner and Sire, Russian Revolution. He is also very closely related to Home Affairs, also a dual Gr.1 winner and Sire.
EVERYBODY RISE is a proven metropolitan-class galloper, with 4 placings in town culminating in a strong second at Warwick Farm on 27th January. We expect him to break his break his Maiden very quickly.
He is eligible for the $100,000 Inglis Xtra Maiden Bonus, and as a city performed galloper, looks ideal for his new owners to target towards this lucrative prize money. His trainer Bjorn Baker sits 2nd behind Chris Waller on the NSW Metro Premiership and has an incredible 20.90% winning strike rate!
Sire
SNITZEL A world-class 10% Stakeswinners/Runners strike rate, outstanding success as a sire of 58 stakes-winning juveniles and the robustness & versatility that puts his progeny in Australia’s best 2YO, 3YO, sprint & mile races.
That’s why Snitzel continues to make a spectacular impact on Australian racing & breeding, setting new benchmarks of performance as an elite sire and a big-race stallion par excellence.
Two Golden Slippers, four Guineas, two Golden Roses, a pair of Everests, the Cox Plate, All Aged, Flight Stakes & Coolmore Stud Stakes, an Inglis Sires’ trifecta, two Magic Millions 2YO Classics and most of Australia’s big sprints all feature on Snitzel’s progeny record.
That record is headed by Champion 3YO Colt Trapeze Artist, Champion Sprinter Redzel, Champion 2YO Estijaab and 18 other Group 1 winners, including the brilliant 2024 Coolmore Stud S. G1 winner Switzerland.
Four General, four 2YO & two 3YO Sire Premierships, 27 Group 1 victories, 12 category Champions, 5 Inglis Easter Sale-toppers & 60 million-dollar yearlings are top-of-the-mountain achievements already on Snitzel’s record.
But with an average of 23 stakes wins every season since 2016/17 and 19 stakeswinners already from his latest 3 crops of racing age, there is no slowing down for Snitzel, with 11 stakeswinners including G1 winners Lady Shenandoah & Switzerland in the first 4 months of 2024/25. Plus, he has more than 300 sons & daughters bred on six-figure fees and yet to run from his 2022-2024 crops.
And just like his sire, the legendary Redoute’s Choice, Snitzel is rapidly creating his own legacy, through 16 stakes-siring sons (inc. 6 Group 1 sires), and his broodmare daughters, already the source of 37 stakeswinners, including 2024 Group 1 winners Private Life, Captured By Love, Celestial Legend, Pinstriped & Velocious.
Dam
BALLET D’AMOUR (USA) Not that it means a great deal with Everybody Rise being a gelding but here is just an idea of the class and quality of his family.
His Dam, Ballet D’Amour by Stravinsky (one of the most influential Broodmare Sires of our time) was a winner in the USA over 1100m. SHe has produced 8 to race for 7 winners with this guy set to make it a perfect 8!
Her progeny includes 2-time Group 1 winner and Sire, Russian Revolution and Group 3 winner, Turbo Miss. She also produced the dam of dual Group 1 winner and Sire, Home Affair. Thereare more Sires further down the page – Holy Roman Emperor, Montelimar, Noor El Hawa etc.
This is a “Blueblood” Family.
Trainer
Bjorn Baker, a multiple Group One winning thoroughbred horse trainer, grew up surrounded by horses, stables, and the racetrack, absorbing the nuances of racing life from his earliest moments. His father, Murray Baker, a New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame legendary horse trainer was initially based in Woodville, before relocating to Cambridge, a hotbed of New Zealand racing. Bjorn’s upbringing in this environment deeply influenced his career path – however, he didn’t initially take a direct route into horse training.
After completing high school, Bjorn pursued tertiary education, studying Pharmacy at Otago University. He enjoyed a successful career as a pharmacist for over a decade before eventually returning to the horse racing world. It was during his time working in the healthcare industry that Bjorn had a grounding in interpreting data and scientific studies and learned invaluable lessons about precision, discipline, process management and attention to detail – skills that would later serve him well as a trainer.
