Archie has been given the racing name Brochaine - 'broche' is French for pin (his sire is Pins) and 'plaine' is French for lowland, which is his dam's name.
I love that!!!

Nice article about Percy, who's running in the Wellington Guineas this Saturday. http://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/10642...ith-Percy.aspx

Against a tough field - Lord Turbo, Sakhee's Soldier, Touche and King's Rock - but I really hope he does well.

Sarten field.



Stunning. Can't wait.

Also makes me even more excited about my annual trips down to Christchurch for the two Guineas races! Been going since 2008. The winners so far: Daffodil, Tell A Tale, Katie Lee (x2 - only horse ever to win both), Jimmy Choux, King's Rose, Rock 'N' Pop, Planet Rock, Sacred Falls and Rollout The Carpet.

How do you even make a pick with a field like that?

Incredible. Can't wait! Should be heart-stopping.

Hey speaking of which (not really but... ) any news on The Hombre? I never see his name but as far as I know he wasn't retired...

I have not looked at any results or replays yet.

My first stop was to look at The Informant and I was stunned and delighted to see this...

Fantastic Honour ran in the Wellington Guineas at Trentham on Saturday. She struggled in the wet track and was never really a factor.

Shuka was so great! I hadn't really planned to go to Ellerslie on Saturday, but decided to go when the weather was so beautiful. And then I got to see Shuka do that! Wonderful win under a massive weight.

About to drive down to Hamilton for Sarten day now. Can't wait!
