Third on debut last month, the Hayes/Dabernig trained Eshtiraak showed the
benefit of that outing when leading throughout to win the 1200 metre maiden as
he pleased as a hot favourite.A $400,000 Magic Millions purchase for Shadwell from the Baramul Stud draft, Eshtiraak is a half-brother by champion sire Street Cry to Champion South African 2YO Colt and dual Group I winner Delago Deluxe, now a highly promising young sire at Newhaven Park.
He is the sixth winner from six to race from Flying Spur mare Succeeding, a half-sister to Group I winners Duporth and Excites from $1million earner Staging.
A member of Gerry Harvey's exclusive broodmare band, Succeeding has a yearling filly by Medaglia D'Oro (USA), a colt foal by Sepoy and was covered last spring by Vancouver.
