New Grade 2 winner for Pure Prize

Quechua stepped up from a maiden win a month ago to capture the Grade 2 Ensayo S. at Argentina’s San Ysidro Racecourse. The 3-year-old colt is the third graded winner, eighth stakes winner overall, for Pure Prize in 2013.

After the victory in the about nine furlong contest, Quechua has hit the board in all five of his lifetime outings. The Argentine-bred colt hails from the same family as Honeymoon S. winner and seven furlong track record setter Defer West.
