Khafeef wins at Hawera

Fortuna Racing’s European bred Stayer, KHAFEEF, delivered a strong winning performance when taking out the 2200m Highweight event at Hawera 27th April. Inclined to over race in his races, this time he settled nicely for rider Shaun Fannin, was back in the running, close to last as they turned for home but finished resolutely to win by a short neck on the line. This was his 2nd win in New Zealand and his 3rd career win altogether
