That's right - no luck with that guy. He showed some promise in his training, but didn't show that at all on the track in his two races. The trainer said he wasn't enjoying being a racehorse, so that was the end of that! I hope he's doing something he enjoys more now.

But the syndicate that owns Pinzaara used some of the money she's won to get a few more fillies for next year. They are Cantina, who's about to turn 3 (Cecconi - The Sand Queen) and will be trained by Shaune Ritchie, and two unnamed 1-year-old fillies - Elusive City-Voyeur (trained by Peter and Dawn Williams) and Zabeel-Tutuland (trained by Graham Richardson).

So I have around a 2% share in all of those, and 5% in the Pins colt. I'll keep you updated on all of them!

Te Akau have mentioned the Derby as the dream for the Pins colt! That's a longshot, but the dream's still alive at the moment - for him and a few thousand others!
