The $15,000 Havelock North integrate Dave and Jenny Morison paid for a deer during a 2013 Karaka sales is quick proof to be one of a bargains of new times.
That equine is Pacorus and a now 5-year-old brought adult his ninth win and took his seductiveness gain past a $220,000 symbol with another widespread feat in final Saturday’s $40,000 Orora Kiwi Packaging Kiwifruit Cup during Tauranga.
The Morisons are no strangers to racing success as they common in a tenure of champion galloper Dundeel, whose excellence days on a racetrack saw him shelve adult 10 wins, 6 during Group 1 level, and assemble seductiveness gain of some-more than $5.3 million.
Dundeel is now station during Arrowfield Stud in New South Wales, Australia, and a Morisons still keep a tiny shareholding in a stallion as members of a Hawke’s Bay-based Waimarama Syndicate, that is managed by Murray Andersen.
It was while Dundeel was racing that Dave Morison asked his good crony Eddie Lowry, timber manager during a former Okawa Stud for many years and a recognized management on racer yearlings, if he could buy him a equine during that year’s Karaka sales.
Lowry staid on a colt by Tavistock out of a Zabeel mare Za Tiara and, after some negotiating with a vendors, managed to secure him for about $7000 reduction than they wanted.
Tavistock was a comparatively new founder during that theatre and hadn’t finished a headlines though is now rated one of many successful stallions in a nation and stands during a price of $65,000.
“Eddie is a unequivocally good decider and I’ve always had copiousness of faith in his opinion when it comes to thoroughbreds,” Dave Morison pronounced this week.
“When he brought this deer home it was a large skinny raw-boned thing that was apparently going to need time though that was fine with us.”
It was Eddie Lowry that also suggested a Morisons have Pacorus lerned by Cambridge-based Chris Wood and so he was sent to him. The equine showed unequivocally small in his initial dual starts, finishing second to final and third to final though afterwards indicated he had intensity when third over 1400m on a complicated lane during Te Aroha during his third start.
The Morisons motionless to move others in to assistance foe Pacorus and have defended a 20 per cent share, with a other 80 per cent widespread among some of their friends and clients of Chris Wood.
Pacorus has left on to be a indication of coherence on a racetrack in a past 12 months, generally on sleet influenced tracks. He won 5 races in a space of 6 starts final winter and open and has warranted his connectors a stakemoney coupon in any of his final 6 starts.
He relished a heavy-11 lane conditions during Tauranga final Saturday and he and unchanging supplement Viktoria Gatu were in finish control over a final 500m of a 2100m event.
Swedish-born Gatu was before apprenticed to Chris Wood and a 31-year-old has ridden Pacorus in 8 of his 9 wins.
Pacorus drew a impassioned outward separator and was held three-wide in a open for usually about a whole race. But Gatu kept a equine easily offset and when she asked him to extend usually before a home spin he fast put a space on a opposition. He afterwards confirmed a clever run to a line to measure by 3-1/2 lengths from Doiknowyou and Gentil Tonton.
“I suspicion I’d pushed a symbol a bit too early, with a weight he had, though he kicked on unequivocally well,” a smiling Gatu pronounced after a win. “He’s my array one.”
Gatu is now formulation a holiday behind in her homeland though that could be put on hold, depending on where Wood decides to run a equine next. He is penetrating to run a equine in a Listed $65,000 Taumarunui Cup (2200m) during Rotorua on Jul 29 though is aware that he will substantially need another run before then.
“I’m anxious to pieces for a equine and a rider, he’s a genuine trier and it was a poetic ride,” Wood said.
“He can means a prolonged run and with a 58kg we worked out a devise of conflict and it all worked out.”
Wood took dual horses to a Tauranga assembly and came divided with a 100 per cent winning strike-rate after Wooden Edge also took out a following event, a $25,000 Rating 75 foe over 1400m. He is in a tip 30 on a trainers’ premiership for this deteriorate with 17 wins, that is a good feat deliberation he has reduction than a dozen horses in work.
Prior to their impasse with Dundeel, Dave and Jenny Morison also raced Snippins with good crony Paul Stevenson and others.
The daughter of Pins available dual wins and 7 teenager placings before an eye damage forced her beforehand retirement and a Morisons are now tact from her. They have an unraced 3-year-old filly by Rip Van Winkle out of Snippins in work with Hastings trainers Guy Lowry and Grant Cullen and a mare is now in newborn to Charm Spirit.
As members of a Waimarama Syndicate a Morisons also common in a tenure of Saavoya, a filly that won 4 races including dual $100,000 Group 2 races during Ellerslie, a Eight Carat Classic (1600m) and a Royal Stakes (2000m). A infancy seductiveness in her has given been sole to Australia’s Arrowfield Stud.

Hastings-born Aaron Kuru confirmed his slim lead in a foe when successful aboard Hastings-trained The Shackler in a $20,000 Restricted Open Hurdle (3100m) during Te Aroha final Sunday. The now Cambridge-based supplement is on 13 wins, one brazen of Will Gordon and dual in front of Shaun Fannin, who also chalked adult a win aboard Nells Belle in a $20,000 Restricted Open Steeplechase (3500m) during Te Aroha.

The 10-year-old Istidaad gelding determined a transparent lead in a early stages of a 3100m eventuality though staid ideally for Kuru and totalled many of his fences well. They were taken on with 1200m to run by foe favourite Thenamesbond though had jarred that challenger off 300m after and were always in control thereafter.
The Shackler jumped a final blockade with a good mangle on his rivals and raced divided in a run to a line to measure by 26 lengths, with Kuru easing him down in a final few strides.
