A chance purchase at Karaka has proved to be an outstanding piece of business for Waikato breeders and owners Ross and Corrine Kearney.

There was a busy set of trials at Canterbury on Tuesday morning with five heats over 900m for juveniles that featured a winning double for Trapeze Artist and an interesting Justify (USA) colt for Yulong that has been named Willingham, which is the name under which they have been buying at the recent Northern Hemisphere breeding stock sale.
