Got home at 10pm last night and back to work at 7am today. Quite a bit to catch up on, both here and at Royal Ascot! Watching replays right now.

Hope you're enjoying catching up... I am now on day 2 of Royal Ascot... was away and then moved and am now sick so finding it impossible BUT I did just read your Pu$sy O’Reilly piece as I know what's important!

Glad you're back and am wondering, aside from the NZ awards, if you have thoughts on the HK HOY... what do they do with Able Friend and Aerovelocity? I mean I thought Able Friend had it sealed but now that he bombed at Royal Ascot...

You have to understand... with no one else to ask I am about to demand an answer from random people on the street so for the love of God give me your opinion, Ed!!!

No really... very curious as to your thoughts.

That's a hard one to pick! I would maybe lean towards Aerovelocity, but there is a little bit of bias involved there with him trained by the NZer Paul O'Sullivan.

It's a shame Able Friend didn't fire at Ascot. A top-three finish from him there would have sealed HOY for him for sure.

Oh yeah I like him so much... always makes me think of the 2006 season (I think - might have been 05) when he had Medic Power and Ever Bright and they were both winning 5... 6 in a row.

(He also had Vital King... huge fan of his).

I'll be happy for whoever gets it but I do kinda think AF is slightly more deserving.

Good luck to Kidnapped at Ruakaka on Saturday. I think Smedley wins but how amazing would that be seeing the old guy win one?

Just watched the replay again and whoa... he really looks like he might be something special.

Any idea where he goes next?
