Thrilled to see this thread! Yea it is time!!!:D
Humiliating to know the name of a single horse in this race but can't wait to see it anyway and also for news of the usual suspects (I would think you know my favorites by now so whenever you see their names please.....)! Happy birthday, kids! Ed how are you horses doing and why can I always think of Pinzaara but not the name of the other (soory!). |
Poor Veyron. Hope his injury isn't too serious.
http://www.hawkesbaytoday.co.nz/news...eturn/1488028/ Have you heard anything? You know what I don't get? How many G1s has he won and why does he never get any international press? Ridiculous. I see The Hombre is entered... :cool: http://www.nzracing.co.nz/Meetings/Meeting.aspx/40570 Hooray! |
Veyron's injury doesn't sound serious. He'll be back racing in time for the big ones around Christmas. He's won four G1s now! He's beaten horses like Mufhasa and Jimmy. Amazingly underrated horse.
Art Beat wins the Winter Cup! Innovation's winning streak came to an end, but she flew and got 2nd. My horses are all having a rest for the winter. :) |
Great Jimmy Choux video from Rich Hill Stud:

Loved it! Thanks for posting it... I never would have seen it otherwise.
Good luck to The Hombre tomorrow (well, today). How long till Hastings starts? Come on race 3! :D |
Race 3 is about 90 min away now. :)
|
Good Lord this 90 minutes has felt like 13 hours so far!
|
Well gee it's just the beginning of the season so maybe he needs to get going a little.
4th. Good enough for now but watch out world cause next time... Right? :D Thrilled he ran already though. No fear haha! 0.0 2.2 Kaap Kruis 2 R Hutchings A Schumacher 55.0 1 $0.0 $10.3 $8.0 8G Cape Cross (IRE) Mini Jay (NZ) (Stark South (USA)) 2 0.0 0.0 1.0 Master Power 3 Viktoria Gatu Chris Wood 55.0 3 $0.0 $8.6 $8.4 9G Testa Rossa (AUS) Efficiency (AUS) (Archregent (CAN)) 3 0.0 0.0 2.8 Starguru 5 Lisa Allpress Patrick Campbell 54.0 4 $0.0 $5.8 $5.6 5M Ishiguru (USA) Copious (NZ) (Racing Is Fun (USA)) 4 - 0.0 10.9 The Hombre |
Yep, he'll be much better and fitter next time. And the track is really wet there today, which he hates. Not to mention the big weight he had to carry. He shouldn't lose any fans for that effort today.
|
Geez ed how close or far is Mount Tongariro and is everyone okay?
|
It's about a 4hr drive away. It sounds like everyone's fine at the moment - no damage, luckily!
Experts are saying the mountain should calm down now. Hope they're right! I have to drive right past it to get to the G1 Spring Classic at Hastings in October. |
Nice story. :)

Potentially one of the best 3yos in the country. |
Ooooh nice field! Good luck to Shez Sinsational (winnah), Fritzy (be still my heart) and Smoulder who i hope has a fine season!
Oh yeah and go, Pu$sy Willow! |
Fleur De Lune wins! Amazing efforts by Fritzy Boy and Xanadu.
Shez Sinsational seemed to struggle in the wet ground, and the distance was way short of her best. She'll do better next time! And a 3yo filly called Hollywood Angel was insanely impressive in the maiden race just after the Foxbridge. |
Haven't watched replays yet but thanks for results and hooray for Fritzy (well all of them, of course). :D

Oh my God are you kidding, that's the final field?
How on earth do you even bet these things with SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many fantastic horses? I mean it I have no idea how you guys over there deal with this kind of thing. My shortened list of horses to wish luck to is now down to 9 (and you know I am not kidding) so I won't even bother... :D I'd love to know 1. the odds and 2. if you have any idea why Guiseppina keeps jumping out at me here (yes ed I do expect you to read my subconscious thoughts now)! :p In my heart of hearts I do hope it's Mufhasa but will be thrilled for who(m?)ever wins. :) |
