New Zealand Racing 2013-14

Heartbreaking for Wattle Bay! Wow that was close and the other race was spectacular!

Poor Alegrio (I think that's who got bumped around).

Pretty nice run by Fritzy Boy.

Good for Postmans Daughter and hey that is really nice the way the NZ racing site is including post race stuff on the videos.

Very nice watching Danielle after the race.

Recite and Bounding at Taupo (?)... where is that ed?

Good luck to Lucky Feather (oh please win one!) in his race (@ Te Awamutu and I suddenly feel very stupid for not knowing where that is either but aaaaw the race is named for Fully Fledged? Nice!)

I see Wattle Bay is entered again on Wednesday!

Taupo's right in the middle of the North Island - a beautiful little tourist town on the edge of a big volcanic lake.


It's a small town and minor racetrack, but because of the volcanic soil it has amazing drainage, so good horses have raced there over the last few springs - Keep The Peace, Military Move, He's Remarkable, and now Recite and Bounding! This should be a great race. I can't wait!

There are some other interesting 3yos running there today too - Dunoon is rated pretty highly by Roger James, and El Roca has apparently looked good in trials.

Te Awamutu's another small town - not far from Hamilton (where the racetrack is Te Rapa). Must admit I've never actually been to Te Awamutu.

Ooooh so pretty. Thanks, ed!

We're about 20 minutes away now from Recite v Bounding round two!

Here's what happened in round one.

In my opinion, one of the best races of the whole 2012-13 season.

Bounding gets her revenge! Easy win. Looks like she's improved A LOT over the winter.

Happy to hear it... she needed a nice win.

Can't wait to see the replay!
