Auckland Reactor

Auckland Reactor

Auckland Reactor is a New Zealand standardbred racehorse bred by Dr. Tony & Anne Parker. Currently a 3-year-old, he has won all of his 11 starts without being tested by any of his rivals. His best wins have been the NZ Sires Stakes' 3-Year-Old Championship and the New Zealand Derby. He has also recorded the fastest last 800 metres of a race ever recorded in New Zealand of 54.0 seconds. In early May, Auckland Reactor was purchased by an American syndicate for a reported $3.5 million, an unprecedented sum for a New Zealand pacer. Despite the sale, he still remains with his original trainers, Mark Purdon and Grant Payne. His final race as a 3-year-old was set to be the 3-Year-Old Emerald, at the Harness Jewels raceday at Cambridge at the end of May. However, he had to be scratched from that race with an injury concern. [] That injury has led to him been ruled out for the rest of 2008, including the New Zealand Cup in November.
