Well, the official result will say Pinzaara finished only 9th, but she ran so great! Less than 2.5 lengths from the winner of such a great race. Very, very proud of her.
Great to see Historian win another big one! And Hera and Puccini (half-brother to Sir Slick) both really surprised me with their impressive wins. Brilliant day. The forecast rain stayed away, we had the biggest Boxing Day crowd I've seen at Ellerslie for a few years, and it was just awesome.
The only bad moment was Lucia Valentina's fall in the Guineas, but I can say she is completely fine and Leith just has a sprained wrist.
