She does! I noticed that as well. He was an awesome horse.

Speaking of great dads, Darci Brahma had his first winner as a sire yesterday when Super Easy won a 2yo race on the Captain Cook undercard.

You do realize I had to look to see who this was, right?

What's going on this weekend? Anything we should know about?

Oops, sorry! He was a really good horse, but his career finished just before I started posting here.

Thanks for the link!

Would be happy to see Six O'Clock News, She Rules and Banchee win but such nice fields... hell I'm happy just to see a replay.

Will you be going to either (track)?

What happened with du Plessis?

Very vague on the hkjc site...

He was in a spill yesterday. It sounds like it's just bad bruising, but I think the doctors have said he shouldn't ride for a week or so. Unlucky for him.

Too bad for him.

Any word on the two horses involved?

The horses weren't hurt, luckily.
