That is nice and I look forward to your picks.
The Telegraph... you know it cuts off right before the announcer says who was last. If you ever happen to watch a different replay of the same race or just happen to know it's driving me crazy (and yes i have looked for full results but can't find them!). It's just bothering me because he says something like "... and the trailer, unfortunately, in the back of the field is" and then it cuts off!

Just had a look at the result and it seems Gold Trail ran last. He was one of the favourites after his big Railway win, but he couldn't get on the lead in the Telegraph and just never fired.
But he ran a great race in Singapore after that.

Oh right, I remember!
He was really good in the Kris Flyer. I think he was right behind the HK kids and Rocket Man. I remember, before the race, reading little comments about how grand he looked in trackwork and wondering who he was! Thanks ed. This would have kept me up all night wondering!

Mudgway field:
1 4144X Vosne Romanee 18 110 59.0 Jeff Lynds, Awapuni 2 62331 Bulginbaah 14 109 59.0 Trudy Thornton Ken Cropp & Catherine Wilson, Wanganui 3 36973 Mufhasa 2 109 59.0 Sam Spratt Stephen McKee, Ardmore 4 1910X Wall Street 5 107 59.0 Jeff Lynds, Awapuni 5 851X3 Jacowils 16 106 59.0 Kristine Stead, Te Rapa 6 126X3 Hold It Harvey (AUS) 9 105 59.0 Terri Rae, Riccarton Park 7 15314 Run Like Al 10 105 59.0 Andrew Calder Jakki Good, Waiuku 8 23X20 Fritzy Boy 12 103 59.0 Lisa Allpress Alby MacGregor, Opaki 9 239X6 Vonusti 8 103 59.0 Noel Harris Tim & Margaret Carter, Cambridge 10 12129 The Hombre (AUS) 3 90 58.5 Jonathan Riddell John Bary, Hastings 11 01831 Illuminates (AUS) 17 105 57.0 Graeme & Debbie Rogerson, Tuhikaramea 12 1376X Miss Maren 6 104 57.0 Mark Du Plessis Ken & Bev Kelso, Matamata 13 X1611 Pennacchio 4 100 57.0 Hayden Tinsley Andrew Scott, Matamata 14 19X80 Beautiful Girl 15 98 57.0 Leanne Franklin, Avondale 15 9210X Keep The Peace 1 90 56.5 James McDonald (a) Shaune Ritchie, Cambridge 16 363X9 Eileen Dubh 7 84 56.5 Francis Finnegan, Woodville 17 X5X27 My Astron 13 102 59.0 Peter Evans, Waipukurau 18 0X612 Lamington Vegas 11 79 56.5 Andrew Scott, Matamata Bad gates for Vosne Romanee and Illuminates. Mufhasa's probably had the best luck - he's drawn 2, and the one drawn inside him, Keep The Peace, will drop back, so he'll get a nice trip. The 3yo race on the undercard is always worth watching - last year the 1-2 finishers were The Hombre and Joey Massino, Juice won it in 2008, and Jokers Wild won it in 2006. The field: 1 04301 Faro Rubino 12 69 57.0 Carol Kupa, Foxton 2 3661 Fiddler 7 69 57.0 Tony Gillies, Matamata 3 7X1X Barefoot 11 68 56.5 Robert Hannam Adrian Bull, Hunterville 4 1X El Primero 3 68 56.5 Lance Noble, Matamata 5 21X Shotoutofagun 6 68 56.5 Gary Vile, Awapuni 6 18X Big Boy 8 67 56.0 Jonathan Riddell Mike Breslin, Awapuni 7 20327 Barside 5 58 55.0 Trent Busuttin, Cambridge 8 2 Maradona 9 57 55.0 Opie Bosson Andrew Campbell, Opaki 9 4 Gospel 10 55 54.5 Michael Moroney & Andrew Clarken, Matamata 10 005 Di's Boy 2 52 54.5 Marty Johnson, Woodville 11 Princess Katie (AUS) 1 50 54.5 Kevin Gray, Copper Belt Lodge, Palmerston North 12 9 Princess Talaria 4 50 54.5 G J Hart, Hastings 13 Yin Yang Master (AUS) 13 50 54.5 Mark Du Plessis John Sargent, Matamata I haven't heard of most of these! But I'm sure I will in the next few months. Gospel was unlucky in his only start, and people are talking about Maradona and El Primero.

Why did i think Opie would get another mount for the Mudgway?
How does post 5 work for Wall Street? Seems to be pretty good but of course i don't know what I'm talking about half the time, so...

Yeah I think the 5 should be good for Wall Street. He'll be looking to be just in behind the leaders, maybe one off the rail, and he'll make his move near the turn. Hope he gets a better trip than in the Telegraph at least!
I think Opie might pick up the ride on Illuminates.

Time for my picks.
Keep The Peace Run Like Al And a bit of a weird longshot for third...Jacowils. The track has dried a bit, but I think it will still be too wet for Mufhasa and Wall Street. It's too short for Vosne Romanee.

I wish I knew more about the runners in the 3YO race and wow it was sad seeing the name Jokers Wild again. Such an idiot, I didn't realize The Hombre was as young as he is. No pick of course although i do always root for Mr. Moroney. Why have i heard of Big Boy? He lost to what really nice runner? I know I've heard the name. Who is the favorite ed? i thought I had read El Primero at one point... For the Mudgway I'll say... Wall Street / Keep the Peace, Illuminates and Pennacchio underneath in whatever order! (and will scream my head off if Mufhasa, Fritzy Boy or The Hombre hit the board although I'm not expecting either will).

Bulginbaah is 10. The old bloke has won 21 races. Great old horse. I don't know how I'd feel if he won - in some ways it would be great, but at the same time, a 10yo winning a G1?!
El Primero is the favourite for that 3yo race, although the stable are really high on the first starter Yin Yang Master. I think Gospel is a huge chance. Big Boy won on debut and then he wasn't far off the winner when 8th in a very good G2 field. Icepin won the race, just ahead of two of the best male 2yos of last season - Jimmy Choux and Cellarmaster.

Poor guy. I was excited about seeing him back for the Railway again on Jan 1.
