New Zealand Racing, 2012-13

[_ed_]

Happy new year!

What an amazing day at Ellerslie. Fleur de Lune got her G1 win in the Railway! She had been second in five of them - behind the likes of Mufhasa and Jimmy Choux - but never won one till today. So thrilled for her. Great race by Durham Town too. Not The Hombre's day - he messed up the start and wasn't really part of the race at all after that.

Habibi - wow. What a special girl. 5 starts, 5 wins. And this was a monstrous performance today.

Fix was fabulous in the Royal - Kidwelly got past her, but she fought back.

And there were some crazy upsets - Hiace at 40-1 in the City of Auckland, Miss Pelear at 28-1 in the Rich Hill...

Just an amazing day. 10 awesome races - worth watching all the replays if you have time.
