The new pin-up boy of pacing Akuta is likely to miss the rest of this year as one of the first major absentees caused by the new realignment of the racing season.
Akuta was breathtaking coming from last to obliterate his male juvenile rivals by 10 lengths at the Harness Jewels at Cambridge in June, a performance that has many anointing him as our next superstar.
That star will almost certainly not be shining at Addington on New Zealand Cup day though, as Akuta is going to miss the Sires’ Stakes to be given time to prepare for a busier than usual 2022.
