Hahahaha you're right!

So ed... does Mufhasa add the "King" part onto his name and run (3rd, as usual?! ) in the Ryder Stakes again or does he stay home?

[_ed_]

He's there! I just mentioned him in the Golden Slipper thread actually, before I looked in here. Wall Street's in there too. So we have two very good chances in that race this year.

The lovely Anabandana goes for another G1 here in NZ this Saturday in the Sires' Produce Stakes...

Cool I didn't know that about Wall Street et al!

Why do I like Antonio Lombardo again? Didn't he have a really nice win?

[_ed_]

He did have a very nice win in a G3 two starts back, and he never runs a bad race. Ana beat him last time, but he probably has the best chance of turning it around.

Thanks for keeping track of who I like.

Any word on our good Sir?

Thanks, ed.

He's running AGAIN this weekend, this time in the G2 Awapuni Gold Cup.

Hahahaha oh my God are you kidding???!!!

Yea!

I'm posting this cause I want to see it again...

...the 2010 Awapuni Gold Cup...

So I'm trying to keep this straight, ed... Sir Slick has run in the last 4 editions and won three of the four?

I think Vosne Romanee is like always right there!

Good luck to him, to VR, Red Ruler, Capecover and Agamemnon.

Upsala and Atapi... not to keep torturing you with requests for updates but just a reminder... any news on these two is always appreciated!

GO SIR SLICK!
