An under-achieving and lightly raced seven-year-old is set to snap a winning drought that’s lasted for more than three years when he returns to racing at Monday’s Beaumont meeting in Newcastle.
An under-achieving and lightly raced seven-year-old is set to snap a winning drought that’s lasted for more than three years when he returns to racing at Monday’s Beaumont meeting in Newcastle . Pure Fuego , a long-frustrating son of Bullet Train in the Cameron Crockett stable at Scone, hasn’t won since storming home to claim a Benchmark 66 Hcp over 1200m at Muswellbrook in early February 2021.
It’s hard to believe back then that was his third win in four starts, and as a four-year-old he was being earmarked for all sorts of carnival and metropolitan races. Not long after that, Pure Fuego finished a respectable midfield in the 2021 Country Championship Final at Randwick behind all-conquering Art Cadeaux. But it also signalled the start of problems and setbacks for the gelding who spent more time in the paddock than on the track over the next two year
