    • Yes but none were purchased for $4mill. Didn’t it get sold for $2mill and sent back to NZ, AR was a complete flop racing in the USA. 
    • Thank you. So on the form "Your involvement with the horse (please tick one): □ Owner □ Authorised Agent / Racing Manager."Can the trainer be an authorised agent? , and who else? Does the racing manager need a consensus of owners , some owners , or just their decision?
    • i remember him as being virtually unbeatable when he was a 3 year old. He had an effortless action and i think mark purdon did a wonderful job in allowing the public to feel part of the action when he raced. For example he was shown on trackside one night,i think at cambridge after he won,taking the horse uo the staright and people lined the outside fence and patted him .What purdon and auckland reactor did that night and that season or two,,both during and after the races, epitomised the value of the connection between horse/driver/trainer and the public. being by mach three,speed and shorter distances seemed to be where he excelled from memory. As a sire ,i don't feel he lived up to the  expectations. If anything,what i've noticed over the years is there is a lack of mental toughness to his progeny. As a general rule,they are inconsistent and moody. Obviously there were exceptions,but it was not unusual to see his horses make mistakes. It sort of seems to be the norm that sires leave progeny that have mostly the same traits. For example,in my opinion,the better father patricks seem to go good when they are 2 and 3 years old but don't get any better,nor  do there manners. Still they seem to sell well at sales,so not everyone agrees. All peaks were guaranteed to break when starting off and they seemed to lack much mental stabilty. vertigo was an exception to that rule. Brylinz boyz,they used to break in their first 7 or so starts then they would go away ok after that,art majors are best sprinters and you wouldn't take them in 2 mile races. I always thought, while sundon was a great sire,he was also the reason trotting races had so many breakers . Having said that,these days several other imported sires seem to have progeny with the same breaking habits. Anyways i'm getting off track from auckland reactor. Personally i thought auckland reactor had the x factor as a racehorse,before he went to the usa.

    • It is absolutely clear under the rule and on the SR24. Ultimately the owner is responsible. Your involvement with the horse: Owner  or Authorised Agent/Racing Manager 
