Four year old mare ISHKUR made the perfect start since joining Team Belhus when taking out the Class 1 event over 1200m at Bunbury on Sunday. Having her first start for new trainer Stephanie Bakranich, Ishkur was off the pace early, but under hard riding from jockey Troy Turner, she made ground to the outside turning for home and always looked likely to play a part in the finish, eventually winning by a length and a quarter in the end, in fact winning with the brakes on!
Purchased recently from the Inglis Digital Online Auction, she’s only lightly raced having had just 7 starts for 2 wins, and certainly looks to be a progressive type.
Congrats to all her new owners!
