Seventh Group I success for KawiRACE IMAGES Kawi and Jason Waddell on their way to victory in the Captain Cook Stakes. Powerhouse Taranaki performer Kawi has edged closer to a significant slice of New Zealand racing history. Success in Saturday's Group I Rydges Wellington Captain Cook Stakes (1600m) at Trentham was his seventh at the highest level to put him level with the outstanding mare Seachange. They sit one behind the former two-time New Zealand Horse of the Year Mufhasa, who heads the hit parade with eight domestic Group I wins. Kawi was back and wide in the Captain Cook before he was urged around the field a long way from home.
