Pure Theatre
Like all horses of greatness, raced only in the best of company - Lonhro, Ustinov, Distinctly Secret, Viking Ruler, Royal Code - and more than matched them. He only raced at the highest level, winning the Guineas Prelude (G3) enroute to a luckless third in the 2001 Caulfield Guineas (G1).
Like his famous sire Nureyev, PURE THEATRE has a classical pedigree, outstanding looks and superb conformation. He’s set to join Nureyev’s family of champion sire sons including Peintre Celebre, Spinning World and Soviet Star. Buy a ticket to the show…
PURE THEATRE entered stud in 2004. SERVICE FEE in 2008-09 is $8,800 plus GST.
