I was floored when I saw your post...
Glad they're doing what's right for him but whoa that is really really too bad.
I have my old favorites (Waikato, El Dorado) and of course always root for the HK runners but I'm wondering your thoughts on Flying Fulton, Mr. Big and Perfect Pins if you'd seen any of them yet of course.
I think the locals are looking really good this year. Always Certain, BBTO, Ato, Captain Obvious and the filly New Roe Wood (didn't do well last time around but she does love being 2nd and has improved like so many of them and at the right time)... you're right it's all wide open.
I know nothing about Yin Xin (sp) and the Malaysian import Speed Baby so any thoughts on those runners would be appreciated.
On Mr. Burridges website Apache Crown is one of the only names who can't be clicked on...
I remember him being injured in Dubai but the news was that he lived and would be going back home.
Any update on that one?
Sorry to ask so many things. That is very cool that you're there and lucky you for getting to watch the Captain Obvious / Gingerbread Man trial.
Sucks that the Singapore Turf Club which gives out SO much info deletes their retired horses. I mean where am I supposed to watch replays of War Horn now (he was one of my favorites
)? They should change it like the HKJC did (they'd delete the retired ones too un till a few years ago).
Sorry for going on and on... most people don't really care about these races so am in a state of shock.
Have a great time.
