Terror To Love's season has ended on a familiar note - beating a Purdon/Rasmussen runner into second in a feature race.
The 6-year-old stallion hardly raised a sweat coming from last to win the $50,000 group three Rangiora Classic, even after sitting parked for the last lap.
Driven with confidence by Ricky May, he strode past leader Easy On The Eye at the top of the straight, reeling off a 26.5-second last 400m to hold Border Control off easily.
That continued not only an incredible season for Terror To Love but a scarcely believable series of major race wins over different horses trained by the country's leading stable.
He has beaten Purdon-Rasmussen-trained pacers into second in the New Zealand Cup (Fly Like An Eagle), Auckland Cup (Adore Me), Inter Dominion heat (Smolda) and Northern Southland Cup (Arden Rooney).
