Wow just looked and totally agree on all these points. ALL really great fields!

(I think I'm finally caught up haha... just read you piece on Kei Chiong form a couple of weeks ago and finally watched McQueen win. That was awesome!).

It's great to see Kei doing so well there!

The first three races at Te Rapa have been excellent. Hopefully it's going to get better and better from here.

Oh, Xtravagant! How great was that? Nice finish from Windbourne. (Liked your piece and the one about Ichiban as well).

Why haven't I heard of Barcelo? (Now a fan).

Out of the 7 (no really, seven ) that I absolutely loved in the Travis, Rasa Lila was not one of them but oh... that was very nice and props to Abidewithme, Gesemi and to The Auld Floozie cause wow that was some finish!

ALL great races but yeah... I did love seeing Fascination Street coming out from so wide to win that first one (that was a seriously nice field) (Too!).

I see Amun Ra is entered at Riverton on Wednesday. It would be lovely to see him (finally) get that 2nd win. Wow that was almost two years ago when he looked so good? Fingers crossed.

Again!

Yay that is awesome!!!!!

Going back through the Informant archives to see what I have missed and man, I just get such a kick outta seeing the "dual G1 winner" headline and then seeing the name Julinsky Prince! Some days I frigging hate the sport with the breakdowns and everything but this? This is the kind of thing that just makes my heart melt.

Happy birthday, ed.

Maybe they're not G1's on Saturday at Ellerslie but a lot of nice horses running!

Thank you! I'm actually on vacation in Australia, so I'll miss the races this weekend. But I'll be getting back into it on Tuesday.
