Auckland Reactor - Overview
Auckland Reactor – Change of Plans
The breeding career of Auckland Reactor has been out on hold, due to an ownership shuffle and a desire for him to redeem himself on the track. 60% of the ownership has changed hands with some Australians from NSW getting involved and the remainder including Stallion Station retaining its interest.
Auckland Reactor is back in work at his original trainer, Mark Purdon's Christchurch stable and all going well, will be aimed at the major races in the new year. He will be breeding no mares this year. Hopefully he performs well, redeems himself and will be back at Stallion Station in the near future.
