Yeah, she is good! She's a little bit inconsistent. Her last five races: 1st, 10th, 7th, 6th, 2nd. So you never really know what you're going to get! If she brings her A game, she'll be hard to beat.

Easter Handicap odds:
Brave Centaur 12
Capone 50
Happy Guys 27
Maximum Height 18
Viadana 14
Zurella 5f
Sir Lovesalot 20
Sum Up 16
Miss Pelear 25
Postman's Daughter 18
Art Beat 30
Joey Massino 20
Innovation 11
Our Famous Eve 17
Tyne Cot 8
Choice Bro 9
Neo 6.50

Maximum Height is a really interesting horse. At one stage, his career record was 40:2-5-4... now it's 47:8-5-4! He's won six of his last seven. It's a crazy turnaround.

Whoa, that was outstanding!

Poor old Postman's Daughter - second in a G1 for the third time.

I think she read your post about bringing her A game and it inspired her.

Yeah poor Postman's Daughter (!)... does she have a G1 win?

I'm still stunned that was the final G1.

I've only watched 2 replays so far and oh wow first of all congrats on Pinzaara being 4th!

I love the racecaller whose name I can never seem to remember and that was the first time I ever heard him get so quiet and,... yeah that was a hard finish to figure out.

Made him even more endearing.

Haha, yeah! That's George Simon.

Postman's Daughter hasn't won a G1 yet! Her biggest win was the G2 Counties Cup in December 2011.

I love him!

Well still... a G2 is pretty good.

I just saw the noms for Sat. @ Hastings and I'm happy! The Hombre sand Huffer in the same race? Yea!

Awww I saw Bruce Almighty's name once again and had to look... been a while since he's won one and with 110 starts you think maybe it's time to let the old boy retire? I hope they do...

That's a really interesting story. I knew he was a big horse, but didn't know he was that big!

Also, NZ Derby winner v NZ Oaks winner in the Australian Oaks this Saturday. Habibi's the better of the two, in my opinion. But More Than Sacred could finish in the money too, hopefully!
