The wait is almost over The very first Auckland Reactor yearlings are about to enter the sale ring
Auckland Reactor Yearlings – New Zealand Sales
Australasian Classic Yearling Sale Auckland – 22 February
T
he wait for the first yearlings by Auckland Reactor has been a long one.
This wait has been made even more tantalizing by the exceptional siring deeds of Somebeachsomewhere. After all, in 2008 the two best pacers in the world where Somebeachsomewhere in the Northern Hemisphere and Auckland Reactor in the Southern. They were both three-year-old sons of Mach Three, both had breed-changing speed and both were cutting a virtually unbeaten swathe through the records books and the premier race calendar. Somebeachsomewhere retired at the end of his three-yearold season and has become a siring superstar. Auckland Reactor raced on, winning the NZ Free-For-All, Auckland Cup, Taylor Mile, NZ Messenger, NZ Jewels and a clean sweep of the Inter Dominion Heats at Gloucester Park. He retired to stud in 2013. Auckland Reactor has attracted the books of mares he so richly deserved. He has rewarded breeders with his outstanding fertility and by leaving so much of himself in his foals – his good size, excellent conformation and lovely temperament. His story has been one of breathtaking triumphs interlaced with adversity and misfortune – a wonderful story that has caught the imagination of so many, brought harness racing to the attention of the mainstream media and even saw him introduced to the Prime Minister. But the story is only just beginning. The next chapter is now about to unfold.
