LA Karaka Graduate Wins By A Wellington Minute

Dual group placed mare New York Minute’s (Iffraaj- Zenno Queen by Zeno Roby Roy) comprehensive win in the Jennian Homes Handicap, the feature event at Trentham on Saturday, is sure to have connections confidently eyeing that elusive black-type success.

Coming off a last start second placing in the Group 3 ISCL Rotorua Stakes, the Ilone Kelly trained New York Minute’s winning margin on Saturday was a staggering ten and a half lengths over the 1200m trip.

New York Minute, who was bred by the Spyglass Hill Syndicate and purchased from the LA draft at the 2013 National Weanling Sale by her current connections, is likely to have her next start in the Listed Seeka Limited Tauranga Classic on 24 June.

First and foremost, stockman and people whose interest in the animal translates into an innate ability to read how a horse will develop. I’ll see a foal at LA and Sam or Buzz will tell me how they expect it to develop. I’ll see it during my Karaka inspections 12 months later, and you could blow me over with a feather
