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...

Veyron's barrier issues resolved

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!

Oh geez ed I can't keep track of all of them! So glad you posted that!

Starting to look at which races to play tonight( tomorrow) and kinda depressing seeing Vonusti, Green Birdie, The Jackal and Firebolt @ Eagle Farm (all at odds of like 30/1, 50/1)...

Thought 3 of the 4 were retired. Hope they have safe trips home.

Good luck to Veyron and all the great NZ horses.

I wonder how many hands he is.

That's a good question! I'll try to find that out and get back to you.

Wow, SHUKA by 10!

Well, maybe not quite 10. Got a bit excited. But still, that was phenomenal.

Survived in the HB Cup was extraordinary too - first 3yo to win it since 1977, and only the third since 1958.
