KIWIS FLYING

The Kiwi takeover of Sydney’s autumn carnival continued as the Tony Pike-trained The Bostonian showed his class to capture the $NZ560,000 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) at Randwick yesterday. A week after fellow Kiwi trainer Jamie Richards claimed a pair Randwick majors with Te Akau Shark and Probabeel, The Bostonian claimed his third Group I.

‘‘It is great for the New Zealand industry as a whole,’’ Pike told

‘‘We have had a fair few quiet years.

‘‘There are a few nice horses here, a few nice 3yos heading over after the Derby and Oaks — so hoping we can have a really good carnival right the way through.’’

Nash Rawiller enjoyed a charmed run on The Bostonian and was able to pull off the pacesetter’s heels 300m from home.

The Bostonian ($6.90) ran over the top of the game Savatiano.
