I have to say I don't remember Dullingham, but here's his NZ record:

He won a race by almost eight lengths! So the talent was obviously there.
The G1 this weekend is going to be a rematch of the memorable (for all the wrong reasons) Diamond Stakes - Warhorse v the very naughty Rollout The Carpet. Hope they both go straight this time and we find out who's the best. There are also some undefeated horses taking on the big guns for the first time - one called Fix has impressed me in both of her races so far, so I'm looking forward to seeing how she copes at G1 level.
And my girl (well, 3% mine) is running at Te Rapa tomorrow!

She's drawn a terrible gate - almost in the car park.
But hopefully Craig can somehow give her a miracle trip!
