Oh gee I just watched that a couple of times... that was some performance!

Beautiful run by Rockfast as well.

Looked like Stratocaster bumped into (I think it was Platinum Witness?) trying to get clear.

Oh well.. nice run from him as well and I do like him so much but wow... that was a nice win!

Also watched Ms. Danielles beautiful win (one of many on the day!) on Tomorrowland who is quickly becoming a favorite (!).

Happy to see Locket hit the board but have't seen Fritzy Boy's name anywhere so will assume he didn't and catch more replays throughout the day. As long as he made it home it's all good. He can be last... that's fine.

Lastly, thank you Opie for changing your mind and sticking around (!).

Some nice fields on Wednesday and good luck to Natuzzi, Antonio, Nashville et al BUT especially to Pinzaara!

(... and to Touche, Eight Shillings and Miss Mossman on the 11th).

Hey ed will the two fillies that were in the 2000 Guineas be running next week? Can't wait.

Excited for the New Zealand Cup as well. Can't wait to see the final field (come on, Postman's Daughter)!

Second Time Lucky is definitely not running next weekend. Not sure about Platinum Witness yet, but I don't see why they shouldn't try if she came through Saturday's race well enough. It was a very nice run from her.

But it's hard to see any of them beating O'Marilyn!

Fingers crossed for Pinzaara! It's a tough field. But she's only got two or three races left before she goes and has a baby, so we're just giving her a shot in some graded stakes races, just in case.

I just interviewed the owner/trainer of She's Insatiable - one of the nicest people I've talked to in this job, so I'm really glad she got that big win on Saturday and I hope the mare runs well in the Cup this weekend too.

Back at the office today writing previews for the weekend races. It's a fun part of the job, and I LOVE the field for the 1000 Guineas, but... I kinda wish I was at Riccarton today cheering on Pinzaara.

Hope she can hear me from 1000km away!

Oh Pinzy, I'm so proud! She found one a bit better today but ran so great.
