The New Zealand champ lost last night. I have watched several of his races and was not overly impressed. I was wrong. This is one hell of a race horse.
Check the video of this marvelous 'loss'. One of the best races you will ever see. I love the announcer as well - wearing his heart on his sleeve. Very nice.
Donate a few bucks? I did. It makes you feel good.

I would love to see Auckland Reactor race in North America; that is one gritty horse.
Also, listening not only to the announcer, the crowd sounded large and loud; something we don't see anymore.
It is very hard for me to judge horses overseas. Most of his races were yawners. This one was fabulous and showed the others were yawners because he is so damn good.
I have no idea if he'd beat Shadow Play or Mr. Big, but I would pay to find out.
What a terrific horse! Mach Three sure is a fine stallion. I would love to see "The Reactor" race here.
