 Did she run in the Melbourne Cup last year or am I an idiot? What's next for her?

Yes she did run it last year - 2 miles was a bit too far.
She's going to the Zabeel Classic on Boxing Day next. It's a G1 over the same distance at the same track, so she would have to be a big chance if she runs as well as that again.

OK, here's the field for Saturday's 2000 Guineas:
1 X8111 Keyora 3 85 56.0 Hayden Tinsley John Wheeler, New Plymouth 2 1X451 King's Ransom 2 84 56.0 Leith Innes Mark Walker, Matamata 3 318X8 Kaaptan 17 80 56.0 Lisa Allpress Stephen McKee, Ardmore 4 1X240 Joey Massino 1 79 56.0 Vinnie Colgan Peter McKay, Matamata 5 1122 Descarado 5 77 56.0 David Walker Kevin Myers, Wanganui 6 123 Military Move 14 75 56.0 Mark Du Plessis Shaune Ritchie, Cambridge 7 X2133 Warrentherooster 13 75 56.0 Sam Spratt Peter McKay, Matamata 8 211 I Am Sam 16 74 56.0 Noel Harris Bryce Revell, New Plymouth 9 13X84 Justanexcuse 9 74 56.0 Kelly Myers Lisa Latta, Awapuni 10 01197 Slashing (AUS) 6 74 56.0 Craig Grylls Mike & Paul Moroney, Matamata 11 115 Summer Surprise 11 73 56.0 Lance Robinson Les & Richard Didham, Riccarton 12 9X214 Smokin' Gun 12 69 56.0 Buddy Lammas Craig Thornton, Cambridge 13 X4X46 Clapton 7 68 56.0 Jamie Bullard Joanne Hillis, Wingatui 14 2X168 Numero De Lago (AUS) 15 67 56.0 Chris Johnson Mark Walker, Matamata 15 18X31 Katie Lee (AUS) 4 80 54.5 Opie Bosson Graeme & Debbie Rogerson, Tuhikaramea 16 5X342 Corsage 8 76 54.5 James McDonald (a) Mark Walker, Matamata 17 81 Volonte 10 68 54.5 Robert Hannam Tommy Beckett, Ascot Park And the odds: $4.00 Keyora $5.50 King's Ransom $6.00 Katie Lee $7.00 Corsage $11.00 Descarado $14.00 Military Move $16.00 Kaaptan $16.00 Warrentherooster $18.00 Smokin' Gun $21.00 Joey Massino $21.00 Justanexcuse $31.00 Numero De Lago $31.00 Slashing $51.00 I Am Sam $61.00 Clapton $61.00 Summer Surprise $101.00 Volonte Keyora deserves to be the favourite. It's an awesome and very even field, but I think he's going to be really hard to beat. I'm off to Christchurch tomorrow for a week - 3 days of racing, with both the 2000 and 1000 Guineas, and lots of nights out drinking with friends...perfect way to celebrate the end of a really hard university year.  I might be able to get online and post replays and stuff during the week, but otherwise I'll do it all when I get back. Have a good week! Last edited by _ed_ : 11-05-2009 at 05:14 AM.

The 2000 Guineas winner for 2009 is...
 Katie Lee! Replay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Hyvcnk1EI She's had nine starts now - eight of them in stakes races - for 4 wins, 3 seconds and 1 third. She's the 5th filly to beat the boys in the 2000 Guineas. On Saturday, she'll try something no other horse has ever done - the 2000 Guineas-1000 Guineas double. She's an even-money favourite to pull it off. If she runs like that again, I don't think any filly can get near her in the 1000. Other stakes races from Guineas day... Pegasus (Coup Align might be the fastest horse I've ever seen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Iy0kNB87PU Metropolitan (My Scotsgrey could be a Melbourne Cup horse next year): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lRHvaLu1ig Last edited by _ed_ : 11-09-2009 at 06:27 PM.

Yesterday was a really nice G2 race. Tell A Tale ran very well but couldn't quite catch Wall Street - a son of Montjeu who has now won 6 out of 9 and looks outstanding.
Replay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giqGv-F5HBw Now here's the field for Katie Lee's attempt at history in the 1000 Guineas... 1 8X311 Katie Lee (AUS) 4 90 56.0 Opie Bosson Graeme & Debbie Rogerson, Tuhikaramea 2 63312 Comme Tu Veux 2 78 56.0 Richard Yuill, Pukekohe Park 3 X4126 St Germaine 7 77 56.0 Mark Du Plessis John Sargent, Matamata 4 30X32 Eileen Dubh 14 76 56.0 Jonathan Riddell Francis Finnegan, Woodville 5 211 Keep The Peace 10 76 56.0 Hayden Tinsley Shaune Ritchie, Cambridge 6 5X134 Aspinal 19 75 56.0 Chad Ormsby Tony Pike & Mark Donoghue, Cambridge 7 41810 Masquerade 17 75 56.0 Buddy Lammas Stephen McKee, Ardmore 8 01102 Queen Sabeel 20 75 56.0 Michael Walker Graeme & Debbie Rogerson, Tuhikaramea 9 X9571 Gofonze 15 74 56.0 Kelly Myers Kevin Gray, Copper Belt Lodge, Palmerston North 10 9X226 Te Akau Rose 5 74 56.0 Jamie Bullard Mark Walker, Matamata 11 2211 Te Toro Lass 1 73 56.0 Noel Harris Graeme & Mark Sanders, Te Awamutu 12 Lime green & peacock blue halves, chequered sleeves & quartered cap 7X894 Lesley Brook 9 72 56.0 Chris Johnson Terry Kennedy, Wingatui 13 813 Our Ella Belle 6 70 56.0 James McDonald (a) Mark Walker, Matamata 14 7X12 The Grey Storm 13 69 56.0 Andrew Calder Ross Elliot, Cambridge 15 6X248 Croix Du Sud 11 68 56.0 Kylie Williams Mark Walker, Matamata 16 45271 Howbaddouneedit 3 68 56.0 Jason Laking Tarsha & Michael Stokes, Waikuku 17 155 Our Tigress (AUS) 18 68 56.0 Craig Grylls Mike & Paul Moroney, Matamata 18 233 Sandie 8 68 56.0 Leith Innes Mark Walker, Matamata 19 2255 Ekstra Dane (B1) 12 59 56.0 Bryce Revell, New Plymouth It's a very good field of fillies, but if Katie Lee is as good as I think she is and as good as she looked last Saturday, she should be the one. Here are the odds: $2.00 Katie Lee $6.50 Keep The Peace $7.00 St Germaine $12.00 Our Ella Belle $21.00 Aspinal $21.00 Eileen Dubh $26.00 Comme Tu Veux $26.00 Te Toro Lass $31.00 Gofonze $31.00 Masquerade $31.00 Our Tigress $31.00 Queen Sabeel $31.00 Te Akau Rose $51.00 Sandie $61.00 Lesley Brook $61.00 The Grey Storm $81.00 Croix Du Sud $101.00 Ekstra Dane $101.00 Howbaddouneedit
