Akuta sensational in Hannon Memorial

Akuta is the reigning New Zealand two-year-old of the year. He won the Hannon Memorial on Sunday afternoon (Sep. 18) in Oamaru. Alta Wiseguy and Tim Williams came within a half head of Akuta. Pembrook Playboy and Nathan Williamson came third.  

Akuta won the Hannon Memorial. Mark Purdon is unsure if he will be aimed at the New Zealand Cup. Alta Wiseguy did his reputation no harm stepping brilliantly. Ala Wise Guy is a favourite for the race. Muscle Mountain is also a contender. Ian Dobson won a share of the Cup with Christian Cullen and Mainland Banner. He is the owner of Muscle Mountains. The two horses will line up in the NZ Trotting FFA on the same day. It is possible that they could be the main contenders. They will go head-to-head. If so, they will have to earn their place in our greatest race, the HRNZ road to the cup.

I mean, how's this for a run of events? The giant gelding was a late scratching from the Minuteman Free For All on September 2 when he couldn't be loaded onto the float, and was then…

Akuta unlikely to take on gun Aussies in 2023

The new Trans-Tasman harness racing pacing rivalry of the flying four-year-olds may be a long way from seeing any resolution. Because champion trainer Mark Purdon admits dual open class Goup 1 winner Akuta (Bettor's Delight) is almost certain to stay home for the rest of 2023 so not go head to head with any of Australia's glamour boys. Purdon has…

Normally the name of a race has very little to do with the result but that may not be the case in the Roy Purdon Memorial at Alexandra Park tonight. The $45000 feature is the final lead-up to next Friday's Auckland Cup and lead-up races to Group 1s can be dangerous for punters because the driving tactics are often conservative as nobody wants to…
