Another Flyer for Purrealist

Lightly raced Purrealist gelding Tansy broke his maiden by seven lengths at Stoney Creek on January 28 and followed it up with his first metropolitan success when scoring a tenacious win at Sandown on Wednesday, providing a pedigree update for his half-sister heading to Inglis Premier.

A half-brother to stakes-winner Vatican and full brother to stakes-placed Adjuster, Tansy won the Benchmark 70 event over 1000 metres by half a head as favourite.

A homebred for Makybe, who raced and retain an interest in her sire Purrealist, Tansy has now won two of four starts for Byron Cozamanis and looks to have a bright future.

Tansy is the sixth winner for Our Sistine, a winning half-sister to NZ Horse of the Year King's Chapel.

Makybe will offer the current yearling from Our Sistine, a filly by Stryker at the 2014 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale as Lot 447, with Yallambee Stud to offer her as agent.

Yallambee will also offer three well-bred youngsters by Purrealist on behalf of Makybe and they include Lot 253, a colt from stakes-winner Fabiarna and Lot 598, the half-brother to Group I winner Pear Tart from Tangerine Dream (IRE).

With his oldest progeny just four year olds, Chatswood Stud based Purrealist is the sire of Group I winner Hawkspur and stakes-winners Melrose Place and Storm Approach.
