Great to see former Inspire Racing horse Opetaia (now named Cruiserweight) win impressively on debut for the Hayes boys. Originally named after the famous cruiserweight boxer, a sport the Corban brothers have a proud history in.
Opetaia was a dominant 5¾-length winner for us on New Year’s Eve at New Plymouth with Sharrock Racing.
Naturally, he was very popular on the tried horse market. Every horse we’ve traded overseas has gone on to win races, creating a fantastic win-win situation for all involved.
The Inspire Racing and Sharrock Racing partnership continues to prove formidable. Every horse purchased and put through the Sharrock system has produced a 100% winners-to-runners strike rate.
