Third on debut in December, the Hayes/Dabernig trained Eshtiraak broke his
maiden by six lengths at Pakenham last month and went on with the job to win the
open juvenile event over 1200 metres by half a length as favourite.A $400,000 Magic Millions purchase for Shadwell from the Baramul Stud draft, Eshtiraak is a half-brother by champion sire Street Cry to Champion South African 2YO Colt and dual Group I winner Delago Deluxe, who sired his first winner last week for Newhaven Park.
He is the sixth winner from six to race from Flying Spur mare Succeeding, a half-sister to Group I winners Duporth and Excites from $1million earner Staging.
A member of Gerry Harvey's exclusive broodmare band, Succeeding has a yearling filly by Medaglia D'Oro (USA), a colt foal by Sepoy and was covered last spring by Vancouver.
