JJ Flash 2,135 Report post Posted June 2, 2021 Well spotted by Richard Callender KIWI POWER Don’t mention this in the Hunter Valley, but Kukeracha’s win in the Queensland Derby on Saturday meant all six Australian Derbies this season have been won by New Zealand-bred horses. Explosive Jack (by Jakkalberry) won in New South Wales, Tasmania and South Australia, Johnny Get Angry (Tavistock) won in Victoria, Western Empire (Iffraaj) won in Western Australia and Kukeracha (Night Of Thunder) won in Queensland. Kukeracha, who raced in Neville Morgan’s well known blue and white silks, was bred at Waikato Stud and sold for $130,000 at Karaka in 2019.

Kukeracha - American, Irish & English lines. Western Empire - 4th dam was local. Johnny Get Angry - 2nd dam Australian, then Irish.
