Atomic Force Hits New Zealand

Soon there may be a drawing of today's win.


Dynamic Sydications are now able to proudly say that their champion sprinter, Atomic Force, is not only a multiple Group 1 winner, but also a Group 1 winner in 2 countries after winning the Railway Stakes.  Not bad for a horse that was snubbed by Hong Kong racing.

Sitting at home and listening to the race even with a bad barrier draw, a slow start and hitting the turn wide, it always felt that Atomic Force would power on to win. As I have said this is a champion horse that is always worth putting your money on, even when the odds are short.

Racing in New Zealand for the first time, from the start reading all the news before it travelled and from the moment it landed, all the news was good and it always look like a certain winner.  Once I saw that the track would be wet and slow it was only more positive news and Atomic Force certainly did not let anyone down.

Atomic force is a horse that now should now get mentioned in the same breaths as Black Caviar & Sepoy and this is something that has started to be seen when you read articles like that of Barry Lichter at the Sydney Morning Herald.

It will be now interesting to see if Atomic Force stays on for another race in New Zealand or decides to head back to Australia.  Either way, it is worth keeping a close on on this one.  Either way though Honk Kong racing might be regretting that they didn't ask this horse to have a gallop on their turf.
