It was hardly a nervous wait for Waikato reinsman Peter Ferguson when his 2000th driving win approached as Milliondollarmonkey coasted up the Oamaru straight to win on Saturday. The reinsman then went on to win four consecutive national junior drivers’ premierships from 1988 to 1991 seasons. Another Auckland Cup win came in 2006 with Mi Muchacho. Ferguson would win yet another Auckland Cup 23 years after his first, but not in the harness code. After taking out his greyhound trainer’s licence, the reinsman prepared Silenci to win the Auckland Cup for greyhounds this year.
