Rising
star Proisir staked a serious claim for spring glory when trouncing a smart
field of up and comers to win the Group III Spring Stakes at Newcastle in a
breeze.
The Gai Waterhouse trained son of Choisir led for Nash Rawiller from barrier
one and turned the 1600 metre contest into a procession down the running when
he exploded away to win by nearly six lengths.
"He made his own luck, travelled comfortably and what was impressive was
his last furlong," winning jockey Nash Rawiller told Sky Racing World.
"He quickened very well.
"I think he's a very promising horse. He really took the next step today
and came through it with flying colours.
"We've just let him be happy at home and haven't really tightened the
screw yet. He's really going places this horse."
Proisir (pictured www.stevehart.com.au) has won each of his three starts to date earning $189,630 in prizemoney
along the way and is entered for all the spring majors including the Group I
ATC Spring Champion Stakes for which he is favourite.
"He could win the Spring Champion," Waterhouse said. "This is
always a great race and a great indicator of good horses.
"He goes to the Spring Champion and then we'll take him down to Melbourne.
"He's so exciting. I got goose bumps after that."
Proisir was bred and retained to race by Anthony and Mario Falcone, who also
raced his mother Prophet Jewel, who was a smart Sydney metropolitan winner of
six races by Encosta de Lago.
A direct descendant of legendary Kiwi producer Sunbride (GB), Prophet Jewel has
an unnamed two year old colt by Dane Shadow, a yearling filly by Dylan Thomas
(IRE) and is due to foal to Dane Shadow again this spring.
Proisir is the 44th stakes-winner worldwide for Choisir, who stands
this spring at Coolmore at a fee of $27,500.
Group 3 - 1600m Class: Open. Track: Good. Time: 1:35.78. Sectional Time: 0:34.32 at 600m. Prizemoney: $175,000 - 1st: $105,000 2nd: $35,000 3rd: $17,500. |
