I just follow her, because I follow all of Smarty's runners. Sadly his best runners have all been overseas. She is a good one!

I love Smarty (he's why I fell in love with racing) but really don't keep track of his kids (or anyones for that matter!) so you need to give a heads up when a good one (Of course they're probably all good :D ) is entered!

You probably already know this but your girl is in the Gold Cup on Sunday.

Very happy Waikato was 3rd today... good for the old man.

Well you must be happy, Baranduin! :tro:

Yes, very happy, thanks! She is a wonderful mare. I just wish she was here!:)

Flying Fulton... piece of cake.

Your girl is up for many many awards!

Here's hoping Waikato wins one anyway. :)

Congrats to Flying Fulton for winning AGAIN...

Good luck to Eclair Flyer in R8 on Friday and to Gingerbread Man on Sunday (the following race is named for him. Cool! There's even one for Big Maverick (applause) and yes I know no one cares but ah do. :D :wf They need to have one named for War Horn)...

... AND Good luck (and thanks in advance for hitting the board :$:) to Mr. Big in Dubai.

Better Life wins the G2-SNG Queen Elizabeth II Cup! I just love this mare!:)

edited to add race link!

Thanks for posting the replay. Very nice!

Nice to see you here, by the way. :)

Rocket Man injured and out of the KrisFlyer...

Hunters Light is already there (and, apparently, looking good!).

The two I care the most about, Bel Sprinter who is one of my ATM horses (cause it's not funny and it's not redboarding... he wins a LOT and it has become an automatic thing playing him... takes no brains) and Lucky Nine (go HK Raiders!) both arrive Sunday.

Nice to see Doug Watson sending a few over!

Quite a few other intl horses on their way...MDK sends over Kavanagh, Dasher Go Go represents Japan, Red Cadeaux arrives tomorrow, couple of others from HK, and some I'm forgetting.

For anyone who doesn't play the Aussie tracks on Friday night... THIS is Bel Sprinter.

Doesn't it look like they've sped up the film toward the end? :D

He is amazing. Might not handle the trip well and the humidity is a big issue (mystery) BUT he's a gelding so they've said they'll go for it.

Has a fantastic chance.

Please check him out!

Kavanagh in the Sprint.

Cup a tougher lot - Pastorius and Meandre put in the best works on the grounds, and me and several others are convinced Hunter's Light isn't right. I didn't say a word and a few others at trackwork this morning suggested he was lame. Military Attack has done nothing but get perfect trips his last few starts, but frankly, he's likely to get another one.

Sorry to hear that about Hunter's Light (wasn't going to use him, but...). Lucky you for being there.

Bel Sprinter for me. I'm rooting for Lucky Nine, think he'll hit the board but if Bel Sprinter can handle the humidity I think he wins. If not it's Lucky Nine or Super Easy.

Will play these three in some kinda order with Mr. Big in the 4th spot.

For the Cup it's all about Better Life, or I think so anyway.

Better Life
Military Attack
Lizarre

Good luck to you and have a great time.

Thank you, TVG, for allowing us to play these great races tonight. :mad: :wf

edit - Just heard about Black Ice. How sad. He was a nice horse. 2nd to Gingerbread Man in the New Years Cup a couple of years ago and again to Lizarre this year. Won quite a few...

A shame.
