New Zealand Cup 2025

[Gammalite]

Some horses resuming tonight in a quest for the Cup . 

BOAY favourite horse of Mo'Unga back in action tonight , and just plugging away tonight way back in the field  at a sloppy Addington.  25-1 for the Nz Cup.

Akuta a nice 3rd resuming . Can't find him in the Cup market , but you would imagine after his fabulous 2nd to Swayzee 2 years ago , it would be the goal.

The ALLstars have handed 'Don't Stop Dreaming ' over to the Cullen Stable after a bold 2nd to Swayzee last year , so maybe AKUTA is the Mark Purdon Special ?

can't actually find him in the the market?  . Chase A Dream for Allstars is 15-1 for the NZ Cup after his bold 2nd to Leap To Fame at Cambridge Betcha Slot.

AKUTA being prepared by his part owner Marky Boy , one of the Best Cup conditioners ever. sure to be a chance of threatening Leap To Fame ?.

Add any NZ Cup thoughts here as we go along on the Road to the Cup . sure to be a fabulous contest this year . The Interdominion Champion might turn up.

And Gamma , you probably have read that NZ Cup winning diver[ Yulestar ] has been given 10% of Akuta for his work in the rehab of Akuta.

Tony suffered a near-fatal race mishap , plus later a personal family tragedy , and has been transporting horses in recent times PLUS he harnessed up both Akuta with Mark P plus one in his own name Whatsonyamind at ATC tonight !

What an amazing Story ! I didn't see that.  i'm sure Tony Shaw has the right touch to see Akuta do very well this year. 

He is pretty famous in these parts (QLD) for Winning the Interdominion with Yulestar in 2001 at Albion Park. (from 4 back along the fence at the quarter no less, a performance guided by the racing gods I think) We were so impressed in Queensland , we renamed the street !! and Albion Park Brisbane now proudly stands on Yulestar Street ever since. What a great honor for Tony and the great horse.  and his late Trainer Mrs Nolan too. 

Tony not just with that horrid head injury from the race-fall to himself to deal with , but lost a teenage son to a traffic death. To come back from those terrible events must of been some of life's toughest battles for the bloke. Can only wish him every best wish going forward .

I will be SURE to be supporting AKUTA for him (Tony)  and Mark where-ever he goes.  some more tremendous Kiwis in the harness caper. Thank you for that great Highlight TABman !!! 🏆

The Broadster would be all over the $1.60 for Leap to Fame if he could get a bet on.
