It seems that Rolleston trainers Hayden and Amanda Cullen have unleashed a smart two year old, based on the way Zeus Lightning (Bettor’s pleasure) Won in Addington last night.
Driver Olivia Thornley chose to avert her time at the back with the gelding and the strong pace Paste Zeus Lightning.
Thornley let him run in and let him run and with a large foot of foot he put his five rivals away to easily win with three lengths of Lizzie Borden.

“He looks like a beautiful horse, especially after last night. He is a good size and as soon as he strengthens, he will make a much better three -year -old,” said Hayden.
Zeus Lightning is eligible for the Harness Million and Sires’ Stakes.
“We will just work out a plan to get him the stakes of the Sires and the Harness Million. We don’t want to race about him.”
Zeus Lightning was a purchase of $ 11,000 at the NZB Standardbred annualizing from 2024 in Auckland.
“He was just a little bit in, but you would rather have them that way than the other way. When they are out, they normally get their knees. When they are in, there is no chance that they hit their knees. This horse doesn’t even wear knee plots.”
Cullen says that Zeus Lightning was a bit a handful as a yearling.
“He was a bit of a bugger like a foal, but once we got it, his attitude changed.”
Before the debut last night, the two -year -old had been three tests.
“We have just had a few problems that sent him. He is just in the house and it has stopped him a bit. We could not let him run in the trials he has had. We have now risen him well.”
Last night’s victory continues the breeding coats created by the stock of Bettor’s pleasure and his success with Christian Cullen Mares.
Winners of that cross are HighView Tommy, Lazarus, Self Assured, Akuta and Amazing Dream.
His family tree runs deep and was developed by Wayne Francis van Spreydon Lodge.
Second mother Galleons Cheer won five of her nine starts for Southland trainer Hamish Hunter. Gary Allen Fokted from Galleons Cheer and at Stud her best winner was the lady who won a new -Zeeland Oaks and a breeders of Group One in Melton.
Galleons Cheer’s first three foals all from Christian Cullen have done a lot of work at Stud.
First foal Galleon Supreme left Spanish Armada, the winner of fourteen of her nineteen starts and $ 787,470, while second Feuls Galleons Honor has left several winners for the late Lester Smith. Her last foal debt Van Kent is unbeaten as three years old and is on goal to start this season in some of the better three -year -old mares races.
The third foal of Galleons Cheer, Georgia Brooke, has left Bollinger, the winner of Sixteen and now Zeus Lightning, both by the enjoyment of Bettor.
