Shocking
The Murray Johnson-trained Pure Pride (NZ) (Shocking) impressed connections when winning at her second start over 1400m at Ballarat on Tuesday.
After jumping awkwardly she settled at the rear of the field before circling the field and cruising to win by just over a length.
"She's a nice horse. I rode her in her first start and we struck all sorts of trouble - it was a train wreck," said jockey Patrick Moloney.
"I've been waiting six months to get back on her, she's had a couple of little setbacks.
"She jumped ok but I just thought I'd leave her alone, they ran along a bit early. She came into it smoothly and when I asked her to extend in the home straight she really let go," said Moloney.
The three-year-old filly is from the first crop of Rich Hill Stud's Shocking whose progeny are relishing getting out over longer distances.
"She's a nice filly going forward and is only going to get better as the distance increases, "said Moloney.
"She's got a brilliant turn of foot and ran through the line today first-up over 1400.
"She could be an Australasian Oaks type of horse."
