kiwi form analyst Stu Bailey rated him NZ's best 2yo even though he didn't race!
Sat 25th Aug, 2007 By Stu Bailey Leading trainer Mark Purdon enjoyed a profitable season with his two-year-olds last season, though the star of the new term could very well be the unraced Auckland Reactor, a slashing specimen with the ability to match. Purdon only produced the Mach Three-Atomic Lass colt on three occasions as a 2YO last season, for two workouts and a qualifying trial, saving the horse for the classics this season. In his first public appearance since a stunning qualifying effort at Rangiora in May, Auckland Reactor took a 2000m mobile heat on the same track today, scooting home in 56.5 and 27.5 after trailing the promising Passion N Glory throughout." |

a shame the Reactor has no posibility of beating Courage Under Fire's Derby tally.....going by my now broken stopwatch the Reactor would brain little courage that was going to be my next question. VK,i saw a 3yo named GALARION win a race at i think it was MV gee quite a few years ago,looked sensational,what happened to him and did you rate him? |
|
By:
Galarion was trained and Driven by Noel Shinn, and as such any chance of greatness was lost ( there has been an endless list of exceptionally promising horses from the same camp). All horses either break down or burn out.
THEY ARE OVER RACED AND the concept of the last quarter being the fastest, or a horse not getting back to the stables distressed, orte possibilty of a cheap run is alien to Noel. |
|
By:
any word if this phenom is heading to oz???
id go to the trots just to see him |
|
By:
GALARION was a freak with a big dose of the X factor but biggest race win was NSW 2yo sires final
not enough to rate him in my top 10 the Reactor is being set for the NZ Cup, 2nd tuesday in November Mark Purdon is on record as being dead keen to be in Brisbane for Interdom09 |
|
By:
unbelievable that possibly the best NZ 3yo ever will only race in one Derby
only target left for the season is the Harness Jewels |
|
By:
VK,if he hasn't been turned out,will you post the next time he is in?,would like to watch it live,ty in advance
|
|
By:
judge....two more starts this season, a lead up race then the $200K Harness Jewels final @ Cambridge SATURDAY 31st May
the Harness Jewels is the Kiwi version of the Breeder Crown, a day of age group racing for $1.5mil because harness racing is huge in NZ they actually race on a saturDAY Sky/scrote coverage of a Kiwi harness race in the middle of sat arvo I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT! |

AUSTRALASIA'S hottest pacer Auckland Reactor will be sold today for a record-breaking $3.2 million-plus to a Canadian syndicate. But the colt will continue his racing career Down Under The three-year-old's sale price at least doubles the record for an Australasian pacing colt, which Ian Dobson set at $1.6 million for Gotta Go Cullen last year. Owners Tony and Anne Parker could not the resist the offer made through New Zealand agent John Curtin, who would not confirm the exact price. It is believed to be well above $3.2 million when commission is included. Curtin said the key player in the sale was Canadian owner Peter Heffering. "It's a bit of fun for them. They're great social guys and I'm sure you'll see them down here for some of the big races," Curtain said. The sale is a great result for trainer Mark Purdon, who has endured weeks of speculation he could lose the horse. "The new owners have said the horse will stay with me for at least the next year," he said. Auckland Reactor is unbeaten in 11 starts and boasts $328,100 in prizemoney. His final run this season will be in the Harness Jewels final at Cambridge on May 31. Purdon said Victorians would see him run in the Victoria Cup at Moonee Valley in December. |

New Zealand's unbeaten three-year-old pacing champion Auckland Reactor, sired by Mach Three, has been sold for $3.5 million (U.S.) to predominantly Canadian interests.
John Curtin, Managing Director of J.C. International, today confirmed the sale (aprox. $4 million NZD), which will see the three-year-old continue his racing career in New Zealand for the foreseeable future, with a move to North America expected in the late spring of 2009. Unbeaten in 11 starts, Auckland Reactor was purchased by a group of nine owners and breeders, six of whom are from Canada. The group includes Dr. Michael Wilson, Tom Kyron, Bill Loyens, R. Peter Heffering, Doug Millard, Irving Storfer, Jerry Silva (United States), Carol Beneke (United States) and Gary Lyons (Australia). Auckland Reactor has a remarkable racing resume, already having won the Group One New Zealand Sires Stakes Final and Derby, the Group Two New Zealand Flying Stakes and the Southland Supremacy Stakes. He has earned $328,000 and taken a personal best mark of 1:55.9 for 1950m (1.21 miles). A leading contender for Three-Year-Old Pacer of the Year and Horse of the Year down under, Auckland Reactor has been so dominant in recent starts that he has drawn comparisons with some of the best horses ever to race. "They're comparing him to Cardigan Bay," said Curtin, "and no horse has ever been compared to Cardigan Bay, and rightly so. If he went to stud today in New Zealand, he'd be jammed up with mares. "He's one of those horses who has grown in stature each start," said Curtin. "He's improved every race and been very dominant. His last three races have really been the telling point. He's 16 hands lean and strong he's quite a big horse." In his last start the Southern Supremacy Stakes, a race of 2,700 metres on April 26 in Invercargill Auckland Reactor turned in one of the most astounding efforts in New Zealand racing history, with a stunning last half mile in 54 seconds flat and a final quarter in :25.9. The finishing fraction, unheard of in Australian and New Zealand racing circles, came more than a mile into the mile and three-quarter event. "You don't hear of those types of times in New Zealand because we race in jog carts," said Curtin. "Nobody believed it, so they went back and checked the video replay. It was 100 per cent correct." Trained throughout his career by training partnership of Mark Purdon and Grant Payne, Auckland Reactor was sold by Tony and Anne Parker, who bred the colt. Purdon and Payne will continue to train Auckland Reactor as he resumes his schedule. According to Curtin, the three-year-old will finish his current campaign with a May 31 engagement in the Harness Jewels at Cambridge. From there, he will rest until an expected October return. All things going well, Auckland Reactor has 23 races in New Zealand and Australia, worth over $5 million, mapped out in his future. Potential races include the World Pacing Cup, Australian Breeders Crown, the Auckland Cup and the Inter-Dominion Series. "The ideal situation is following the Inter-Dominion in March of next year, they'll bring him to North America in May for some of the big races at the Meadowlands and Woodbine, before standing stud." In addition to comparing him to the greats of racing all-time, many are comparing Auckland Reactor to another dominant son of Mach Three Somebeachsomewhere. Could harness racing have one of the all-time great quinellas in its midst? Courtesy of Standardbred Canada |

Saturday.......
Multi-million dollar pacing colt Auckland Reactor was looking for more over his last 800m in 56.5s at the Motukarara workouts today. Rolleston co-trainer Mark Purdon was rapt with Auckland Reactor's final Canterbury hit-out before the colt heads north at 3am tomorrow morning. Auckland Reactor will be one of 14 on tomorrow's early float trip north in anticipation of further riches in the $1.5 million Harness Jewels at Cambridge on Saturday week. Sold for a reported industry record $4.1 million earlier this month, Auckland Reactor will start a dominating favourite in the $200,000 Emerald for 3YO pacing colts and geldings. Purdon and training partner Grant Payne have no concerns about freighting Auckland Reactor north. "Apart from going to Invercargill, it will be his first big trip away, but he's such a relaxed type that he won't lose any weight or anything on the trip," Purdon said confidently. Auckland Reactor had a movie star presence on an otherwise quiet Motukarara workout day. Television media along with a press reporter and photographer were on hand for the unbeaten colt's public appearance. Only the connections of Lladro were prepared to start their horse against the champion in the four win or faster pace. Auckland Reactor stepped straight to the lead and cruised through his opening half in 65s. Purdon allowed the Mach Three colt more action over his final 800m in 56.5s and final 400m in 27.8s, even though he was only out for little more than a training run. Lladro was left in his wake when Auckland Reactor increased the tempo at the 200m, cruising away by three lengths at the line. He ran the full mobile 2200m in 2:50, satisfying Purdon that he was perfect for the north sojourn. |
