 Thanks for this and the Mufhasa updates. Again no intention of watching the race but I did see the saddest picture... a shot of Mufhasa from behind looking a million miles from the rest of the field. "We got to the half mile (800m) and he was trying to clear his wind. His breathing obviously wasn’t right and he was struggling soon after. There’s a problem, it’s a shame.” - M. Rodd Okay I have just spent half an hour watching videos of his owners after he won Horse of the Year both times, of some of his wins... need to dry tears and be on with the day. Honest to God he gets me so emotional it is embarrassing. ![]()  |

			 Was looking at the piece on Indikator in the Rotorua Cup in the Informant and had to see who else was nominated (Villifye!) and noticed a familiar name listed in a couple of races including the Rotorua Stakes... 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Is Pinzaara gonna run and if so which race? How exciting!  |

			 She'll run in the Rotorua Stakes if she makes the field, but that looks a longshot - she needs four horses to scratch.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	![]() But it's that race or nothing. She won't run in the other race. If she misses out on this field, she'll wait for another race next weekend.  |

			 Looks like she's in!!!!! 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Wow there are some pretty big names she's up against BUT she has shown how tough she can be... hope she does really well!!!!!! SO excited for you! edit - Or maybe she didn't get in (?!). Last edited by my miss storm cat : 05-11-2013 at 11:15 AM.  |

	  It's confusing the way they list the fields on the site. All the horses with (Bx) next to their name need other horses to be scratched to make it in. Only 14 were allowed to run in that race.But we're trying again this week! The field is nowhere near as tough, but she has a lot of weight on her back this time.  |

	Hope she wins!!!!!   BEST of luck.No jockey listed yet... will Sam have the mount? If you're going (and forgive me for not being able to keep track of which place is near or far) please blow a kiss to Military Move for me (when no one is looking, of course). ![]() GOOD LUCK!  |

			 Sam was originally going to ride, but the trainer has decided to reduce that big weight a bit by going for a young jockey, Dylan Turner. His weight allowance means she'll only carry 56, instead of 59. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I probably will be going. ![]()  |

	Oh my God ed am I reading the live tab results right.... did Belfast Lad really just win? If so that is awesome!!!!!! Man he has raced so many times I'm almost afraid to look to see how many starts he's had (close to 100?).  |

	Not today for Pinzaara. Time for a well-deserved winter break. Looking forward to seeing her back in a few months.  |

			 Tough field for The Hombre but he seems to do pretty well with Opie onboard. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Will be happy if Postman's Daughter wins this one but oh I hope the big boy does well! Are you going?  |
