Still good to know the American trip hasnt had any negative impacts on him and he is at least on par with what he was before he left.
Some people might call it a time trial, i'd like to have a horse who can beat Monkey King first up, i think Mark is a good judge of a horse and if he says the horse feels bigger and stronger than before i'd take his word for it. There is still along way to go so i suppose the next 2 months will be the telling factor.
It's just so cool to have AR back. A time trial ? Probably.....but small fields tend to be boring affairs anyway. Soon we'll see AR in a larger field but will the opposition be any stronger, I shouldn't think so. Nice to have him back, it simply adds more to what is looking like a top ID.
Looking at tonights run he will be pushing s.... up hill to be a real threat in the inter, i like the horse but over racing like that is a real problem and in the big races you will be chewed up and spat out the back as he was tonight. Good to see Power Of Tara get up.
Im so so so sick of hearing about this horse. He runs some sensational sectionals but champions win when their not supposed to. They keep sticking the beak out no matter how tough the run. Thats what people love seeing. Thats why we love Blacky. Thats why we love Smoken up. It made Poppy a champ. Not an animal that can fly if everything is run to suit. Come on. Grand circuit horse yes. Champion..NO.
Ps, Can they now change the banner on this site the say the "Gold Coast AR is Back"
Your right on there Mango
I don't think he can race from back in the field should had been unleashed off the gate maybe instead of all those great wins by the length of the straight as a youngster maybe should have been teaching him some ring craft and how to survive back in the pack he went poor last night. Great tactics by the Hill team to have a crack but now they have to worry about some Aussie horses ITMQ top run coming from last speed on 3 and 4 wide beaten a head with the last half in 56.6 run up front boy he's looking sharp.
I can't wait to see Blackie, Smoken Up and Mr Feelgood over there knocking heads with the Kiwi's cause they are serious contenders. Mr Feelgood gets worked right handed in halfs in a minute so i hope he can handle it in halves of 55-56 cause thats what they will need to run the last half to have any chance.

You are correct, as much as i wanted him to win last night he stumbled and it is dissapointing as if he had of settled i think he could of been there in the finish.
I think that you're all being a bit harsh on Auckland Reactor.
Let's be fair. What genuine winning chance could he possibly have had last night?
Everyone knows that the NZ Navy's Hyperbaric Chamber in Calliope Rd, Devonport, Auckland is currently closed for routine maintenance.
