I don't really care too much or know but just putting an idea out there.
There's hardly a need to listen to rumours about Purdon horses.
They have one of the most up to date websites around with all the upto date news on all horses running from the stables.

Highview Tommy did not go ahead with payments for the Inter Dominion series and only Auckland Reactor will represent the stable in Perth all going well.
Taken from ALL STARS website..!!!!
pretty sure i just herd purdon say on skyracing that "perth trip is cemented
Great run Reactor, another track record i believe i heard, better run than last week, definitely improved...
Smoken Up 1:51.1 amazing, awesome effort to Decorated Jasper too...
Perth ID is gettin better.
Found it hard to come up with an excuse for Reactor last night, he sat 3 wide probably a tad longer than he hoped to, but then got cover and an unimpeded run to the line after going at exactly the right time...maybe a fitness issue? Sets him up for Perth though. Choice Achiever would have been a tragedy beaten after being driven perfectly only to get smashed at the 120m, lose momentum and balance before being picked up by Butt and winning with authority. The standard may have been a bit down this year but what a finish with four of them going over the line together. Great Stuff...Even tho' I backed the Reactor!
Auckland Reactor has returned to New Zealand today but will go to Perth next weekend from NZ....strange but true
One thing is for sure . It's better to have Auckland Reactor over here than not . This posting has seen some great debate and I agree with you Brad . The Hunter Cup was a great race and lived up to its history . At very least the horse will add a stack of interest to the race that I beleive is the ultimate harness racing event .
I read now he is only 50/50 for the Inters because he is tired! I am not into bagging horses in anyway shape or form, however given the hype and propaganda that has surrounded this horse from day dot, his inability to match it week in and week out with the best combined with the litany of excuses will prevent him from ever being put in the category that on raw ability he might belong. For me he will always be the villain who cost Blacks A Fake five conseucutive Inter Dominions in a row, because - in my opinion - without his uncontrollable pulling in the death, Mr Feelgood doesn't get the last shot at poor old Blackie.
If Auckland Reactor is tired now, how will the decision to return to NZ and increase his flying time to Perth help him recover
