Suparazi impresses once again

THE local legend of Suparazi only grew on Saturday when the Ben Brisbourne trained sprinter ran a gallant second in the group three $1 million The Gong at Kembla Grange. After a third place finish in the $3 million Big Dance last start, Suparazi earned the opportunity to have a crack at The Gong and she didn't disappoint as she ran a close second to Gringotts. While the six-year-old gelding hasn't managed to secure that big race win yet, it's been an incredibly lucrative past two starts picking up $490,000 worth of prizemoney and taking his career tally to over $1 million. The best part of that is the fact he was purchased for just $15,000 as a yearling. Brisbourne said he's proud of his stable star. "He's our first million-dollar earner, so he'll never be forgotten," Brisbourne said. "I just hope he's not our last." Brisbourne will wait to see how his slick sprinter pulls up before deciding his next move. "I'm really proud of the horse," Brisbourne said. "He's really stepped up this preparation. "We'd always had the Big Dance as the grand final for the preparation and trained him for that race, I thought he ran as well as he could that day, but he looks to have even gone to a new level in The Gong on Saturday. "I was really pleased with how he pulled up post-race - we travelled him back to Wangaratta that evening and he looks to be perfectly fine. "I think we'll just see how he is this week, if he's okay by Friday, then we'll push on and take him up to The Ingham in three weeks. "If we think he's had enough, then he'll go to the paddock - he's a nice horse with a nice rating so we might plan something special in the autumn."
