The
Gai Waterhouse trained Pure Hustle is Golden Slipper bound after producing a
super impressive trial at Randwick yesterday morning.
The son of MAKYBE's stallion Purrealist he was quick into stride and led the
field easily extending his margin on straightening, he went to the line under
the hold of Tommy Berry to win by 4.8 lengths in a sizzling 50.1 seconds; the
fastest 2YO trial of the morning.
"He was extremely impressive this morning and I am really excited about the
future of this horse," Waterhouse said.
Pure Hustle sold for $42,500 at last year's Magic Millions and Waterhouse is
likely to head towards the $3.5m Golden Slipper (1200m) in April.
Pure Hustle is one of three metropolitan winners Purrealist has produced from
just twelve starters. Others include Pure Whisper and Anjea. Purrealist currently sits in third position
on the First Season Sires Table for winners.
MAKYBE are presenting three colts by Purrealist at this week's Melbourne
Premier Yearling Sale (Lot 658, Lot 688 & Lot 719).
Lot 289, a Purrealist filly (pictured above) from Tendency presented
by Grange Thoroughbreds was sold today for $150,000.
Many buyers have been inspecting the progeny and paying top dollar based on
Purrealist's impressive results so far.
