Bettor’s 2YO’s top $1mil
After the sensational wins of filly Aussie Made Lombo & gelding Abettorpunt in their respective Australasian Breeders Crown semi finals at Melton last Friday, Bettor’s Delight has yet again set another record with his 2YO’s this season earning $1,039,097 in NZ at season’s end & over $1million in stakes in AUS with a few weeks of the season still to go. Combined his 2YO’s have earned $650k more than any sire in history has been able to achieve....
Aussie Made Lombo was driven like the good thing she was & dually saluted for driver Chris Alford. Starting from the 12 the run needed to be something special & that’s exactly what it was for the odds on favourite. Congratulations go to this ultra consistent Bettor’s filly who is still Australia’s leading 2YO stakes earner, she has raced 17 times & never finished back worse than 2nd. Abettorpunt’s run to score could only be described as stunning, after being hemmed away three back the rails, the Bettor’s gelding unleashed a withering sprint that saw him run down the breakaway leaders to score on the line which was even more impressive considering the final half was run in 55.6 & last quarter in 27.0

The son of Pegasus Spur won by a massive 28.3m on the line & with the 2YO Australasian Breeders Crown Trot final on the 22nd Aug all the signs point to him being installed as favourite. This win takes him to 10 starts for 8 wins 1 second – his sire Pegasus Spur stands this season at Woodlands Stud for a fee of $4,000+GST in both AUS & NZ.
