Shame there arent 50 claimers on the grass anymore for her to compete in.

It's as if some tiny fairy were dancing 'round the forum, its tiny wand showering the occassional thread with some kind of enchanted dust... one part merriment and two parts mirth.

I'm gonna have to start calling you Sunshine for all the joy you spread.

US: Kiwi Star Habibi Arrives In New York

She is amazing - considerably better than Crossing The Line, who you may remember. If she's fully recovered from that leg injury and acclimatises to US conditions, I'd expect her to do really, really well. I hope so, anyway! Brilliant filly.

Go Habibi! All NZ racing fans are behind you 100%.

One of my favourite shots of her in action - although even this doesn't quite do justice to her stride.

Reading up on her story and it noted that she was sold to majority owner Augustin stable and would be trained by Graham Motion. Apparently she has had quite a time to acclimate and is now in California. Who trains for Augustin stable in California?

I guess she's with Dan Blacker...
