![]() Sorry, should have been clearer about that. His race is here - http://www.ellerslie.co.nz/show.cfm?...wf&w=294&h=240
But yeah, Red Ruler was awesome today. 4 wins from 5 now, and was unlucky in 3rd the other time. 5-2 for the Derby now. |

![]() Derby entry order, by earnings:
1. Mission Critical 2. Fritzy Boy 3. Prince Kaapstad 4. Red Ruler 5. Sircross 6. Pierre Joseph 7. Il Divo 8. Nom du Jeu 9. Avancer 10. Six O'Clock News 11. Twoeezy 12. C'est La Guerre 13. Sing Song Girl 14. Borrack 15. Steel 16. Butwaittheresmore 17. Pentour 18. Abitofado --------------------- 19. Thumbs Up 20. Strengthtostrength 21. O'Reilly Express 22. Diplomatic It's a shame that some horses that have no chance of winning (Twoeezy, Borrack, Abitofado) have enough earnings to keep out a couple of rising stars who are just running out of time (Thumbs Up and Strengthtostrength). ![]() Looks like it will be a great field though, can't wait. 5 days to go. ![]() |

![]() Derby Day on Saturday! And the undercard isn't too bad either:
G3 Darley Plate - https://www.ebetonline.co.nz/forms/2..._M2_R7_Ext.pdf And then there are some of the major Auckland Cup contenders in the Nathans Memorial Handicap, and a 2yo race with Fully Fledged (who would have won a G2 last start if he didn't try to jump the rail...hope he behaves better this time). |

![]() As I mentioned in the Derby thread, C'est La Guerre is the Derby winner for 2008. Prince Kaapstad was second and Fritzy Boy third. Nom du Jeu was 4th.
The other major race of the day, the G3 Darley Plate, was won by Martini Red. Video: http://www.ellerslie.co.nz/show.cfm?...wf&w=294&h=240 |

![]() It was Auckland Cup day today, on a disappointing wet track (it was a beautiful sunny day...think they have some drainage issues) and the race had some ridiculously slow sectionals.
But still, Prize Lady won it for the 2nd year in a row, and that's not easy. Video (the race is 3 minutes 35 seconds long!): http://www.racingreplays.co.nz/media...5ells05_bb.wmv |
