Auckland Reactor, purchased last year by a North American-based partnership for $3.5 million, won the $385,000 Auckland Cup at Alexandra Park in New Zealand Friday, overcoming an early 15-length deficit to win the 2,700-meter (approximately 1 2/3 miles) race in a mile rate of 1:58.4.

 

Traveling to New Zealand to watch the race was co-owner Jerry Silva, along with his girlfriend, Theresa Gentry. The pair watched trainer Mark Purdon direct Auckland Reactor to the 3:18.5 victory as he pace his final half mile in approximately :56 and last quarter in :27.4 as he defeated Monkey King and Awesome Armbro, who finished second and third, respectively.

 

Auckland Reactor, a 4-year-old son of Mach Three, has now won 20 of 21 career starts Down Under. Auckland Reactor is now scheduled to start next week in Australia in the opening round of the $1.5 million Inter Dominion Series.
