New Zealand Racing 2013-14

I just watched the replay and was wondering... what did the announcer mean when he implied that there had been some delay to the start?

Great race and wow what a nice (and surprising!) win!

Hope you had a lot of fun.

My pick was Spellbinder... love Bounding and she is fantastic but I would have played Spellbinder on top had I been there (or posted in time).

I hope you have a photo or two you don't mind sharing!

The delay was a bit scary! Bounding lashed out in her gate and got her leg stuck. They took a while to get her out of her gate, then the vet had to make sure she was OK to run.

No photos this time, unfortunately. It was a really hot day, and they were already taking Costa Viva away for a drink and a shower by the time I made it to the winners' circle.

Wow that sounds scary! Glad she was okay and that you had fun.

Whats up for the weekend? Anything good?

The G2 Auckland Breeders' Stakes, which looks like being a really strong field - Final Touch, Lady Kipling, Diademe, Miss Pelear, Waterford. And the G2 Counties Cup, with More Than Sacred and a few other nice horses in it.

Also, today was a big day - the first stage of entries for this race: http://www.nzracing.co.nz/RaceInfo/4...-Overview.aspx

I've heard of maybe a quarter of those! Can't wait to meet the others over the next few weeks and months.

Some really nice fields and good luck to Pinzaara (!!!!!).

Ed... I am really confused...

Time Keeper as in THE Time Keeper... Easter H. winning Time Keeper... that one....(???)...

HE is running tomorrow (r7 Rangitikei R.C. @ Awapuni)?

Whoa, yes! I hadn't noticed.

Pinzaara ran so great. Really proud of her, as always.

Oh my God ed she was really so good today and that was a tough field. VERY nice run.

Pus$y Willow... I was surprised at that run.

Any word on Xquisit? A shame seeing her pull up.

Congrats to you. Hope your girl wins next time but wow, in the meantime 3rd to Queens Rose is pretty damned impressive!
