Sir Patrick Hogan of Cambridge Stud is among the part-owners of Saturday's Group 1 Ford Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes winner The Heckler (Lucky Owners).
Dominant from the outset, the Murray and Bjorn Baker-trained galloper led throughout and continued to defy opponents in the run to the line, ultimately repelling the determined challenge of St Fevre (Dehere) by a short head, with 2 ¼ lengths back to St Germaine (NZ) (Keeper) in third placing.
