6 Year Old Season (2010/2011)
Plans to stand Auckland Reactor at stud for the 2010 season were abandoned after some ownership changes and a willingness to focus on a return to racing. He returned to racing on 12 February at Ashburton, winning in a time of 1:52.9 for the mile (0.8 seconds outside the New Zealand record). However, he finished at the back of the field in his next two starts, including the Auckland Cup, after failing to settle in the running. He was set to contest the Inter Dominon series at Auckland starting 25 March, but was scratched after suffering an attack of Colitis X a few days prior.

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or season:
“The golden mean in ethics, as in physics, is the centre of the system and that about which all revolve, and though to a distant and plodding planet it be an uttermost extreme, yet one day, when that planet’s year is completed, it will be found to be central.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Methoughts a legion of foul fiends
Environed me, and howled in mine ears
Such hideous cries that with the very noise
I trembling waked, and for a season after
Could not believe but that I was in hell,
Such terrible impression made my dream.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
