COMMENTS AND PROSPECT:
PROISIR was trained by Gai Waterhouse with a record of 3 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third in 7 starts including G3 Newcastle JC Spring Stakes with Nash Rawiller on board. After landing the G3, he placed 2nd in G1 Spring Champion Stakes beaten by DUNDEEL. He returns at fall after break and placed 3rd in G2 Hobartville Stakes and 2nd, defeated by DUNDEEL again, in G1 Randwick Guineas with Hugh Bowman on board. PROISIR has been sidelined for a while because of tendon injury and has been switched to Peter and Paul Snowden’s yard. As a son of CHOISIR and full brother to Caulfield Guineas winner DIVINE PROPHET, PROISIR didn’t race again after the transfer and retired from racing in 2015. He stations at Rich Hill Stud, New Zealand with 21 black type contests winners including New Zealand star sprinters LEVANTE and G1 winner PROWESS, LEGARTO. In 2024, his service fee is NZD$ 80,000.
LUCKY MY WAY was purchased by current owner at NZD$ 330,000 as a yearling. His sire PROISIR got a fruitful result in recent years with several G1 winners and his next generations were welcomed by the participants in NZB Karaka Yearling Sale. His dam SPIRIT OF SANDFORD won over 2000M while 2021 The Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup 1st runner up COLUMBUS COUNTY is one of her foals. The bay gelding got an eye-catching pedigree that should be most suited over a mile or upper in distance and fine on soft going.
