Every week at the moment, New Zealand bred harness racing stock are heading to the Northern Hemisphere as a combination of improving stakes in some stakes and the rapidly depreciating dollar sees the market heat up quite a bit.
This Wednesday night just gone saw another plane load leave for North America and we thought we would highlight some of the stock leaving.
* Onedin Mach – 4 B g Mach Three – Stylish Onedin – 37 starts, 10 wins, 4 seconds, 9 thirds, Lt $68,338
Lovely four year old who has always been competitive whatever he has been in.
Has won ten here but placed thirteen times against some of the best four year olds going around.
Should suit the style of racing he will encounter in North America.
* Fiery Lustre– 6 B g Red River Hanover – Holmes Lustre – 70 starts, 6 wins,10 seconds,9 thirds,Lt $58,590
Has really come of age in the last few months and has only missed a first four placing once in its last ten starts.
Has gate speed and likes to lead but can also really let down off a solid clip so should be suited to the style of racing in North America.
*Mighty Peruvian-6 Brg Peruvian Hanover- Ella's Lass- 61 starts,8 wins,16 seconds,6 thirds,Lt $61,210
Another horse who has had a busy but productive season at the ripe old age of six.
Has run in the first three in sixteen of his twenty seven starts this season and is definitely racing in the best form of his career
His last win from barrier nine over the 1950 metres at Addington in a 1:57.4 mile rate and winning by nine lengths was his career best performance.
Very honest and will suit racing in North America.
*Elisaveta-5 Br m Grinfromeartoear – Boryana – 48 starts, 4 wins, 11 seconds, 9 thirds, Lt $37,895
Bred to Northern Hemisphere time which is always a plus when selling into that market.
Has a very good record here over 1600/1700 metres and has gate speed so she should love the mile racing.
As her record shows she has been placed in the first three in 50% of her starts so honest as well.
By all accounts the next plane is all but full already and it appears that the recent spike in sales to North America is showing no signs of abating.
