Fast-improving HUKA FALLS
passed his first big test with flying colours in a fairly strong Open
Handicap event over 1200m at Kranji here today.
Trainer Laurie Laxon, just
back after attending the sales in New Zealand, watched the three-year-old
dictated terms from the start and coasted home by one and a quarter lengths,
clocking a time of 1min 9.49secs on a rain-affected 'yielding' track.
It was the seventh win in
eight starts for the New Zealand gelding who was passed in at NZ$45,000 at
the Ready To Run sale.
"I have to say I wasn’t
confident at all when it rained today. The only time he ran on a wet track,
he failed badly," said Laxon. "Then again, it was over 1400m while today he
was running over 1200m and he had no weight on his back."
HUKA FALLS was the middle
leg of a treble for Joao Moreira who brought his tally to 23 for the season.
