New Zealand Racing, 2009-10

[my miss storm cat]

Huge upsets all over the world today.

Thanks for the replay. Daffodil can't win every one and it was a nice 4th.

Oh God and Sir Slick. I'll just never get tired of seeing him!

Thought the announcer was gonna have a heart atack when Keyora won!

"... another year in him"?

I hope they do whatever's in the horse's best interest (DON'T RUN!).

Back here, there's a great card of racing at Trentham tomorrow with three stakes - the Wellesley for 2yos, the G3 Cuddle Stakes for fillies and mares and the G2 Wellington Guineas for 3yos. It's going to be a very wet track down there though.

And here in Auckland there's a really really nice card at Ellerslie - there are no stakes, but there are some awesome fields. The first race of the day is a 3yo race with some nice runners (Green Cash and Marsh Harbour look like names to remember).

Then Donthassleme (rated a very big chance in the 2000 Guineas - 12-1) is having his first race as a 3yo and there's a 2yo race with first-starters from all the top stables.

Later in the day, excellent older horses like Panama, Striker, Black Panther, La Etoile, Glamorous Girl, The Mooseisloose and 2006 Derby winner Wahid are all running. I'm really excited about going there tomorrow.
