Leviathan Southland owner Brendan Fahy would have found it tough not being at the races today (Sep. 8) when Rakamurph (Captaintreacherous) took out the race named after him and one of his harness racing trainers Peter Hunter. And it was Fahyās birthday as well.

āHe was a bit crook this morning, so he didnāt make it. Itās been a tough time for the family so hopefully the win can bring a bit of joy back,ā said trainer driver Nathan Williamson after the two year oldās victory.
The gelding was the raging favourite. He was taken straight to the top and won easily by a length and a quarter from trailer Major Dolmio.

āHaving Alexās horse (Matai Harry) beside me kept him concentrating. He knocked off a little at the line but heās still quite green in front. The race should bring him on, and heās got a bit of natural ability which helps. I was pleased with his manners out there today. He handled it really well.ā
