Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 13, 2021 Journalists Share Posted May 13, 2021 Kiwi-bred mare Kurabui kept her undefeated record intact at Pakenham on Wednesday when winning over 1400m under the guidance of leading Melbourne jockey Jamie Kah. It was the third victory for the half-sister to talented stayer Surprise Baby, and trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr believe she has a bright future. “She is a beautiful mare. You love it when they come back first-up, up a grade, and win like that over a short trip,” Kent told Racing.com. “She is bound to go further. It was obviously a beautiful ride. She had every chance, but to extend and win by three lengths was quite impressive in the end.” Initially purchased as a yearling out of Rich Hill Stud’s 2018 New Zealand Bloodstock May Sale draft for $1,000, Kurabui was later purchased out of the paddock as an untried filly by bloodstock agent Phill Cataldo. “I knew she was in a paddock in Te Awamutu and Surprise Baby was going so well, so I went to have a look at her,” Cataldo said. “Proisir was on the rise and she was a nice filly. She hadn’t trialled, but she looked like she could grow into something. “Mick and Michael were willing to take the punt on her and it has worked out well.” The post Kurabui continues unbeaten streak appeared first on BOAY Racing News.
