Akhenaton

2010 Gelding (Nice Love - Iena De Mosta - Corot)

Akhenaton is a French bred trotting gelding.

​

Trainer: Paul Kelley

Location: Vernon Downs - Vernon, NY

​

The Standardbred Owners Association of New York put together a promotion to import French bred trotters for a series of races to be held at Yonkers Raceway. Owners who wanted to participate put down a deposit and 3 trainers traveled to France to train over 60 horses and narrowed it down to just over 20 horses to bring back over to the states. Names were drawn out of a hat to pair horses with owners and the horses were shipped over in mid-June, 2018.

​

HorsePlay was lucky enough to purchase a small percentage of Akhenaton from the owner who put down the deposit, Bill Donovan of W.J. Donovan Racing.

​

Akhenaton had 10 starts in the US with 2 wins, 1 third and 2 fourths for our group from June through October of 2018. We were impressed by this horse's amazing stride and wish him luck with his new connections!
