When Macedon Ranges-based trainer Liam Howley produced New York Hurricane to win at his seventh start last November, he predicted more wins would be in store.
This eventuated at Bendigo races last Thursday, when the three-year-old finished strongly to win the Big Screen Company BM64 Handicap over 1500 metres.
The Bendigo track was rated a Heavy 8, with the rail out five metres.
New York Hurricane started as a $16 chance, and raced mid-field i for much of the journey.
Jockey Craig Newitt made his move at an appropriate time and raced to the front with 150 metres to travel.
The winning margin was 0.75 lengths from Mayan which also finished well.
Howley said it was lovely to get New York Hurricane back in the winner’s circle.
“There’s a great gang of various owners in him and they have backed us since day one,” the trainer said.
Langdon Thoroughbred Racing is one of the owners of the galloper who was a $70,000 purchase.
He has now earned connections over $120,000 from 14 starts.
