Bonecrusher runs record
PA Hamilton The New Zealand Derby winner, Bonecrusher, bound for a Sydney campaign at Easter, lowered the New Zealand record for 2000 m in the group two Cambridge Stud International Stakes at Te Rapa yesterday. Ridden by Gary Stewart, Bonecrusher was third last at the 800 m but found space on the rails
in the straight to head Eva Grace and the pacemaking Coronal by two lengths. His time on a firm track was Imin 59.595, breaking the record set by the veteran El Questro last year by almost four hundredths of a second. Bonecrusher carried 52kg on the weight-for-age scale. His trainer, Frank Ritchie, and owner, Peter
Mitchell, will set the gelding for Air New Zealand Stakes at Ellerslie and a weight-for-age 2000 m race at Awapuni before taking him to Sydney for an autumn campaign, capped by the A.J.C. Derby. The three-year-old gelding, winner of the Bayer Classic at Levin last year in the hands of the top Sydney jockey, Jim Cassidy, is by Pag Asa from Imitation.
