First Win for Hawk Spur Sister

Media Release - Friday December 12
Well-related mare Imperial Hawk romped to an impressive maiden victory when stepped up over ground for the first time, taking out the Kiwi Bus Builders 2100m at Tauranga on Friday in New Zealand.

HawkspurA sister to Group One winner Hawkspur, Imperial Hawk scored by four and three-quarter lengths under a supreme Opie Bosson ride.

"She's a pretty smart mare," enthused co-trainer Andrew Forsman, who prepares the four-year-old daughter of Purrealist in conjunction with Murray Baker.

"She's in foal to Jakkalberry and being a full sister to Hawkspur, if we can win another couple with her it will be a bonus from a breeding perspective.

"Chris Waller trained her originally and her owner Tony Muollo elected to bring her back here and pick up a couple of races.

"She has always looked a natural stayer from the moment we've had her." - NZ Racing Desk
