Hunter Durrant has been rewarded for his commitment to leading Te Akau Racing’s Riccarton barn with promotion to assistant trainer for the trans-Tasman operation. Te Akau principal David Ellis was impressed with Durrant’s dedication and success as foreman for their Riccarton stable last season, with their southern base contributing 63 wins to Te Akau trainers Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson’s national premiership-winning 169-win season tally, and Ellis felt it was fitting to reward Durrant with a promotion. “Hunter looked after everything when we started a permanent base of stables last…

Checkmate continuing broodmare’s grand record
A chance purchase at Karaka has proved to be an outstanding piece of business for Waikato breeders and owners Ross and Corrine Kearney. While wandering around the complex, a winning daughter of Conatus caught their attention and they followed through to secure Signorina for $6,000 out of Westbury Stud’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s Broodmare Sale. She has proved to be a gem for the couple with Saturday’s Listed Armacup Stakes (1500m) winner Checkmate (NZ) (Mongolian Khan), who is raced under their Okaharau Station banner, her latest success story. “She’s…

Sarah Devcich was full of pride witnessing a filly she bred and part-owns in Hitabell win last Saturday’s Listed The O’Leary’s Fillies Stakes (1340m) at Wanganui. At her fourth raceday start, Hitabell was due a change in fortune after a luckless run at Ellerslie behind Costae, and jockey Courtney Barnes took luck out of the equation in the feature, leading from the outset to score over race-favourite Celestial Wonder. Devcich, who owns and operates Henley Park alongside her husband Marc, was delighted with the result, praising the efforts of Hitabell’s…
