Naxos (NZ) Completes Tauranga Double for Pencarrow
12 Feb 2024
Barely half an hour after Bonifleur (NZ) (Burgundy) made a winning debut at Tauranga on Sunday, fellow Pencarrow three-year-old Naxos (NZ) (Harry Angel) followed suit in the very next race on the card.
Naxos kicked off his racing career on a perfect note with his hard-fought victory in the $25,000 Pure Lighting Maiden (1200m).
Fourth and third in his two appearances at the trials, Naxos went out at double-figure odds on Sunday but produced a tenacious performance in the hands of jockey Billy Jacobson.
