Gai Waterhouse | Gai Waterhouse Horses Available 12437 Proisirruqqaya 24

This colt is by Proisir, the reigning Champion New Zealand Sire whose meteoric rise has been defined by his ability to produce elite, multi-million dollar earners like Prowess and Legarto. The Waterhouse/Bott stable has seen firsthand the tenacity and class of the sire's progeny, and this individual was a real standout for the team. He is a half-brother to the dual Group 1 winner and successful sire Grunt, winner of the Australian Guineas and Makybe Diva Stakes, as well as the Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Zayydani. Out of the Van Nistelrooy mare Ruqqaya, he comes from the same family as NZ Horse Of The Year, Ocean Park

He is a big, rangy, and commanding colt with a huge overstep and a purposeful walk that demands attention. He possesses great scope and a deep girth, giving the impression he will develop into a top-tier three-year-old capable of reaching the highest level over a variety of distances. Offered through the Trelawney Stud draft, New Zealand's longest-established commercial thoroughbred farm with a storied history of producing champions like Ocean Park and Granny Smith, he shapes as a blue-chip prospect with genuine stallion potential and a pedigree that is among the finest in the book.
