You Ninety Two became Auckland Reactor's tenth individual two-year-old winner from his harness racing debut crop with an explosive win at Charlton yesterday.
Recently joining the stables of Amanda Turnbull, You Ninety Two showed enough gate speed to lead.
He was always travelling comfortably before showin a great turn of foot to quickly put a space on his rivals.
Sprinting home his final 800 metres in 56.7, You Ninety Two won by 23 metres under only very mild urging.
Bred and owned by Peter Salthiel, You Ninety Two was one of Auckland Reactor's first qualifiers in Australia and now becomes his tenth individual winner.
