Thunderfromthethrone (Auckland Reactor – Sevenspanishangels by Christian Cullen) a recent addition to the Scott Dickson stable also powered home out wide in the last race at Manawatu winning easily by more than three lengths for driver David Butcher. It was the second win for Thunderfromthethrone who looks a progressive type that should be adding more wins in a short space of time.

Elo Louise  (Auckland Reactor – Lively Chance by Live Or Die) clocked a very quick 1-58.6 mile rate over 2600m when she beat a tidy field at Addington on Friday night.

After an unlucky fifth at her last start in a stronger field, Elo Louise was too good for her opposition wearing down a gallant Held To Ransom who had shot clear at the 400m. The margin was only a head but there was a further 8 lengths back to third and gaps to the rest in a true staying test for the junior driver event.

Elo Louise has now won three times and been placed once from her five career starts.

Jaffa Josh (Auckland Reactor – Silk Rose by Dream Away)  also gained a deserved first win flashing home late out wide to win narrowly. The powerful gelding backed up some impressive trials and unlucky raceday appearances to finally break through for his maiden win for trainer-driver Paul Borcoskie.

Soho Burning Love (Auckland Reactor – Soho Bordeaux – Western Terror) the winner of  $246,840 in Australia from 12 wins 11 seconds and 5 thirds, against the best of her age, was recently sold for a substantial sum to North America. Just recently she won her first start in 1:52.2f in impressive fashion at Dover Downs.
