Oh wow I have only looked at Ellerslie so far and that is sensational!

(Hey it's the first time ever I have seen a horsie with my name haha).

Cannot quite remember... is this the swansong for Soriano?

[_ed_]

Three more races for her - Zabeel Classic, Thorndon Mile (Jan 23), Herbie Dyke Stakes (Feb 13).

I was just about to ask you for these dates... Hoping she goes out a winner.

Poor Amarula... was sorry to read about his setback.

Couple of very small bets and that's that...

Win on Sultan of Swing, Celebrity Miss, Tavy and Mary Quant but oh what to do with Tomorrowland, In Style and Barbaric? Guess I will box them and figure out which to do a small win on and leave it at that.

Happy New Year Ed! Have a great time at Ellerslie and safe home, good horses!

Happy New Year to you too!

Sadly the beautiful weather of the last two weeks is gone and it's very wet and windy this morning.

Luckily all of your picks will handle the wet track.

Scary to see a horse slip in the first race, but apparently it wasn't because of the track conditions.

Manolo Blahniq! Sensational.

Might be a pretty good horse too - won a trial by 9 lengths!

I have no idea who's going to win the Eight Carat. For my preview in the newspaper I focused on Sofia Rosa, but I'm really not sure. Saavoya won it at 30-1 last year and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar longshot result here.

Oh that's awesome!

Thanks for that and for the Soriano reminder as I cannot keep such things straight.

Have not yet read the preview but am looking forward to it. Much to catch up on!

[my miss storm cat]

Just watched both of her trials... she looks VERY nice!

Merry Christmas, Ed.

Same to you.

I've arrived at Ellerslie and it's a beautiful day. I can't wait for this.

[_ed_]

That was such a good win from Sacred Master.

[_ed_]

Stunning wins by Kawi, Capella, Xtravagant, Gasoline, Seventh Up and others. But the two spills (luckily horses and riders all okay!) and the Newmarket DQ really marred the day for me and took away some of the joy.

I hope New Year's Day will be perfect.
