Second Stakes Winner for Exceedingly Good

Mark Smith - Saturday April 28

After knocking up winning valuable QTIS races, the battled hardened two-year-old colt Mishani Hustler took the step-up to stakes company in his stride in Saturday's Listed Dalrello Stakes (1200m) at Doomben.

A homebred for Mike and Patty Cook's Mishani Enterprises, Mishani Hustler made it four wins from five starts when he defeated the favourite Shamurt (Murtajill) by three-quarters of a length with a short neck to Clockwise (Smart Missile) in third.

The Ben Currie-trained colt took his earnings to over $275,000 and his current campaign is not over yet.

The Champagne Classic (1200m) on May 12 and Group II BRC Sires' (1350m) on May 26 have been pencilled in for the son of Exceedingly Good.


"The pace of race in the Sires' should be slower. It should give him a chance to settle better and get a further trip," Currie told AAP.

"I have been saying all along that this is a good horse. He deserves a chance at the Sires'."

Mishani Hustler is the first live foal of the useful racemare Mishani Sinner (Falvelon) who is a great-granddaughter of the top-class Wilkes mare Crimson Cloud.

Mishani Sinner has a yearling filly and a weanling colt by Jet Spur and was bred back to the son of Flying Spur last spring.

Mishani Hustler becomes the second stakes-winner for Exceed and Excel's Group III VRC Maribyrnong Plate winner Exceedingly Good (pictured) who died in 2015 after seven seasons at stud.
