In a titanic tussle that lived up to the pre-race hype, Aegon kept his perfect record intact with a thrilling win over Amarelinha in Saturday’s Karaka Million 3YO Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie.
Although the million-dollar race attracted a full field of 17 three-year-olds, the build-up was completely dominated by two horses.
One was Aegon, whose three-from-three record included the Group 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton and the Group 2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m) at Hastings.
The other was Amarelinha, a stunning last-start winner of the Group 2 Eight Carat Classic (1600m) over the same course and distance as the Karaka Million 3YO Classic.

This time the Te Akau domination of the Karaka Million came with a twist.

Te Akau trainer Jamie Richards supplied the first four home in the Ellerslie dash for cash, with On The Bubbles remaining unbeaten after three starts even though he came from the outside barrier.
