An absolutely masterful job training to get the win for J J The Jet Plane, and it was an honest win as well, no doubt. From stardom, to mediocrity, to home, to success back home, to international glory. A long, long, long road to get him to this point...very happy for the connections who have stayed with him. And kinda nice to see the win go for a non-foreign trainer of a South African horse, as he ended up back with Lucky Houdalakis.

It was nice, not too often you can leave the barns of a De kock and or Hannon and go on to win a race like this one. Honourable mention to Rocket Man who also ran a winning race.

... and to Sacred Kingdom who, lest we forget, was near-death a while ago.

A shame about Able One being withdrawn at the last possible minute.

Cheers to Beauty Flash... a very nice win and always good to see the locals do well (and yes I know he's fro NZ ed!).

Snow Fairy...

I stand by my nominees for Diva of the World for 2011.

You don't have to convince me SC! Agree 100%. As silly as it sounded a month ago, I was serious when I said she will be the most exciting horse to race next year.

I really think she is going to show she may be even better than the great Ouija Board. Cheers!

Sorry I didn't post here at all after that. I had all the races on Tivo, so I didn't want to come in here and see any results.

They were great races. Snow Fairy and JJ were the obvious highlights.

It was great to see Beauty Flash win as well - I was at the track when he won his maiden at Te Rapa, beating Herculian Prince by 5 lengths. A shame Paco Boy flopped so badly though. They must be wishing they didn't run.

Sorry for being needy.

Yeah a shame about Paco Boy but the one I really feel terrible for is Able One. HIs connections must have been devastated but good for Beadman for doing the right thing.

It was one race too many, he had no punch at all, the connections didn't make any excuses. Bad draw wasn't a factor either, he usually takes back and makes one run anyway, from a fan's standpoint it's a shame. Great result for Hong Kong though.

Looking forward to seeing Snow Fairy race in 2011, she's definitely right there in the class of a Ouija Board. Now that she has proven she can handle a top class field at 2000m, options are wide open for her. Expect her to keep adding to her resume.
