LEADERBOARD

Imported from the United Kingdom, Leaderboard won his ninth and final start at Dundalk in Ireland in October 2018.  He was purchased by Fortuna Racing and travelled to New Zealand, with his first trial in early August 2019.

Six of his seven career wins have come in New Zealand, the first being in October 2019, followed quickly by his second Kiwi win in November 2019, both at Riccarton.

At his first attempt at the $250,000 Group 3 NZ Cup over 3200m in November 2021, he finished in third place, ridden by Kozzi Asano.

In March 2022, he claimed the $60,000 Listed NZ St Ledger Open SW+P 2600m when ridden by Michael McNab.  A month later, he was a close runner up in the $85,000 Listed Hawkes Bay Cup Open Hip 2200m owht Lisa Allures in the saddle.

He headed south to again contest the Group 3 NZ Cup with no success but his day in the spotlight was still to come - and it arrived for the now 8YO in January 2023.

An outsider paying over $50 on the TAB for the $300,000 Group 3 Wellington Cup Open Hcp 3200m he defied his opposition in heavy and raining conditions to claim line honours with Irish rider Joe Doyle aboard.

Trained by Te Akau, Leaderboard is raced by the Fortuna Leaderboard Syndicate (Mgr: J Galvin) and has raced 42 times for seven wins (6 NZ/1 UK) and 18 other placings.  His stake earnings stand at $340,123.
