Not totally convinced about Mongolian Khan's win in the Salver yesterday. He looked strong, but he had such an easy lead. I want to see him do that off a strong pace before I'm a true believer.

But he has won three out of four now, so he's got some talent.

If I can get over the name, Marky Mark was a nice winner of the 2yo race. First NZ winner for Makfi.

Have not yet seen Mongolian Khan but this made me laugh!

Cool that NZ Racing added trackcams! Anywhere else in the world I really wouldn't care.

Surprised to see Veyron's name in the noms for Saturday... will he go?

Happy to see that Amun Ra might be entered.

Oh yeah Park Princess too as I hadn't realize she had returned for one last month.

I think trial replays take a bit longer to be uploaded - not sure why that is. But hopefully it will be there soon!

I was surprised to see Veyron nominated as well. I'll be talking to his trainer later today and I'll get back to you.

I think you're right cause I'm now able to view the ones from Foxton (I have no idea where that is!) from the other day so yes... I guess it takes a few days.

Exciting about talking with Veyron's people!

Veyron is well. He's running in this race on Saturday with an apprentice riding him to get his weight down (Jack Wong). It's his last warm-up for the Zabeel Classic on Boxing Day.

Danielle is riding so well this season.
http://www.nzracing.co.nz/RaceInfo/Jockeys.aspx

She had her best ever season last year with 95 wins, but she's already reached 60 this season and we're only four and a half months in! She's projected to get more than 150 if she keeps going at this rate.

Good to see they've finally put the replay up!

Yep, I'll be there on Friday. Noms come out in about three hours, and the final fields are confirmed tomorrow.

The Boxing Day fields are amazing, as always! So many outstanding horses in the Zabeel, and the Eight Carat is full of potential.

Pinzaara's got a good draw for her career finale in the Newmarket! It's a tough race for her but I know she'll try her heart out again.

The 2yo and 3yo races early in the card are really nice as well.
