The Gai Waterhouse trained Fusaichi Pegasus (USA) colt Hashasan ran up to what he’d previously shown in trackwork when powering home for a dominant two and a half length win over 1400 metres at Randwick on Friday.
The Gai Waterhouse trained Fusaichi Pegasus (USA) colt Hashasan ran up to what he’d previously shown in trackwork when powering home for a dominant two and a half length win over 1400 metres at Randwick on Friday.
Having his third trip to the races and improving from a last start fourth, Hashasan was ridden quietly and allowed to find his feet before charging home to win in the manner of a horse destined to win better races.“He’s a really beautiful colt and he’s shown his true ability today, so I think he’s a horse we’ll see plenty more of over the carnival,” said Gai Waterhouse.
A $600,000 purchase for Rob McAnulty from the Coolmore draft at the 2007 Magic Millions Yearling Sale, Hashasan is a half-brother by Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus (USA) to former top class sprinter and now successful sire Bel Esprit.His dam Bespoken featured at the recent Magic Millions Yearling Sale where her Encosta de Lago filly fetched $300,000 for Coolmore Stud
.Although Coolmore based Fusaichi Pegasus (USA) no longer shuttles to Australia, he does have a good number of yearlings entered for the sales this year with 11 for Inglis Classic, five for MM Perth, 13 for Inglis Premier and three for MM Adelaide.
