Pass Mark for Akuta after a new third part

It wasn’t perfect, but it was the next best.

Because while battery (Bettor’s pleasure) Maybe he did not win his comeback race in Alexandra Park on Friday, he came out of the race with a big tick and trainers Mark and Nathan Purdon still came away with the victory.

That was courtesy of treacherous baby, the stablemate of the hot favorite at the best hoofing pace of $ 20,000, the center of 1700 meters from the Alex Park meeting.

After 20 months, Akuta was fresh until the races and what once seemed like a career-ending injury and he peaked on his run in the last 100m to fight in third place.

Treacherous baby repetition



Co-trainer and co-owner Mark Purdon was more than satisfied and had the bonus of watching treacherous baby peeling from Akuta’s back to Slingshot Past Little Beauty.

“She races very well and was clearly a lot fitter than Akuta,” says Purdon.

“He really had a good blow and blew on his back.

“At this stage he will come here in two weeks back for a similar race and then go to the south.”

Treacherous baby will join Akuta in Canterbury while set for the new series of Merrenraces in the region, which are already looking a winner with the depth of talent they attract.

Earlier in the night the father-en-son stole also produced youth Georgie best to win on debut, even if it didn’t plan for him early.

He was forced to go back to almost the last, but got one round from home and sprinted like a good foal to lose the talented captain Moonlight.

“He is a beautiful horse, still with a lot to learn except a nice engine,” says Purdon.

The stable will have at least six horses in Canterbury from the beginning of next month, in which Akuta and treacherous baby are accompanied by Oscar Bonavena, Juvenile Andretti and a dream chased.

Later in the night there was a huge thank you Wave of the Whip by Taitlyn Hanara when she won the main drot in Castana.

The emotion was because it was the 200th New Zealand training success for trainers Dave and Clare McGowan, the old employers and the greatest supporters of Hanara.
