Bunker Digs Holes for Rivals in Guineas
- Saturday, 14 September 2002 00:00
After being left wide with no cover through the first 400 metres of the Group 3 race, Walker took Bunker forward to lead dictate proceedings.
The Sandtrap colt played his part by defying all challenges in the straight, the best of which were fellow northerners Jack the Stripper and Crown Control.
Although trained at Takanini by Stephen and Trevor Mckee, Bunker has yet to race in his home province. His three previous starts had brought two wins at Otaki and a second placing at Foxton.
Bunker will have one more start before his major early season target, the Coupland Bakeries NZ Two Thousand Guineas at Riccarton in November.
