Rising HK Sprint Star for Denman

Tara Madgwick - Thursday June 14

Lonhro's Group I wining son Denman is one of the quiet achievers on the Darley NSW roster, but has a star on the rise in exciting Hong Kong trained three year-old Hot King Prawn, who scored his ficth win from six starts at Happy Valley on Wednesday night.

Hot King Prawn - HKJCTrained by John Size and ridden by Zac Purton, he jumped fast and led all the way to win the 1200 metre Class Two sprint as he pleased.

"It was painless," Purton said. "The first 150 metres of the race was the most important and once he got out like he did we were in the right place. I just helped him get around this track and obviously he's got a bit of class on the rest as well."

Hot King Prawn was a $90,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Aquanita Racing from the Torryburn Stud draft.

Bred and sold by Torryburn, Hot King Prawn is a half-brother to stakes-placed Siren's Fury being from Unbridled's Song (USA) mare De Chorus, a daughter of stakes-winner Val de Grace.

De Chorus has a yearling colt by Your Song, a weanling filly by The Factor (USA) and was covered last spring by Golden Slipper winner Capitalist.

Denman has had three Australian stakes-winners this season and sired the winners of nearly $5million in prizemoney.
He stands at Darley Hunter Valley at a fee of $8,800.
