October opened with a bang for Campton Racing with a thrilling home track double with two quality winners.
🏇 Bruckheimer Breaks Through
The first star of the day was the stable’s promising newcomer, Bruckheimer. Drawn wide and forced to race three-deep throughout, then ran wide on the turn, still learning to run in the clockwise direction, he faced a testing run. But when challenged in the straight, Bruckheimer dug deep, showing true fighting spirit to reclaim the lead and notch a well-earned victory.
This win adds to an already impressive record: one win and two seconds since joining the Campton Racing stable . Remarkably his dam, Holy Cow, whose three progeny have all raced—and won—within the past fortnight. That includes:
• Tres Magnifique (I AM Invincible x Holy Cow)
• Depth Charge (Written By x Holy Cow) — a blood brother to Bruckheimer
🌟 Manpower Muscles In
Just two races later, it was Manpower’s turn to shine. The 3-year-old chestnut gelding jumped cleanly, settled into second, and then surged to the front in the straight to win with authority. It was his second win from three starts, confirming his upward trajectory.
🧠Zechner’s Masterclass
Both winners were piloted with precision by Karl Zechner, whose cool hands and tactical nous helped secure the double. It was a day to remember for the jockey-trainer combination, and a testament to the preparation of all the team behind the scenes.
🙌 Cheers to the Team and Owners
Campton Racing’s success is built on dedication, and this double is a reward for the tireless efforts of the entire team. Congratulations also go to the ownership groups of Bruckheimer and Manpower—your horses are on an exciting path, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
