Post by: TimTimTimbo on October 29, 2023, 11:48:06 PM

Running an hour ago over there.

The winner is Akuta is a really nice animal, Close to a mil over there.  4yo racing against all the older brigade. Another Bettor's Delight out of a Christian Cullen Mare which is the Golden cross and has produced over 150 different winners.

Mark Purdon trains it with his son Nathan, He was suspended so Olivia Thornley (she is a junior driver over there) has been driving most of his good horses

Check out this race for Akuta 2 years ago as a 2yo

This was a pretty amazing performance as he was as green as grass, came 5 and 6 wide and obliterated a top field of 2yold like they were tied to the fence. The track announcer in this was like that idiot in Indiana, he called Akuta at the top of the stretch by another name
