Weekend racing also saw Bart Cummings win the Shaftesbury Avenue Handicap (1200m) at Cantebury on Saturday with Karaka Premier Sale graduate and son of NO EXCUSE NEEDED, Rotorua. Cummings purchased Rotorua for $210,000.00 as a yearling and has a very high opinion of this promising galloper and will now aim him for the Gr1 Epsom Handicap over a mile, in October. No Excuse Needed (pictured), a son of Machiavellian, is currently the leading 2YO sire and leading 2nd season sire in New Zealand and we believe it won't be too long before he makes his mark in Terra Australis. We have a weanling colt by No Excuse Needed out of a stakes placed Nassipour mare who traces to the same NZ female family as Rotoroa, available for purchase. His half brother who won his maiden in New Zealand by 2 lengths before being shipped to Hong Kong to be trained by Tony Cruz.
