Thanks! One of my favourite things about going down to Christchurch is how easy it is to get so close to the Guineas winners. I can get down there from my seat in one or two minutes. Ellerslie's just too huge to do that - especially when there's a big crowd for the major races.

I know there are three other very good fillies in this race, and I know that saying this could make me look really dumb, but I really think the only question here is how far Bounding wins by. And I can't wait to see it.

Another really fun trip to Christchurch. I've loved it. But I can't figure out how I feel about that dramatic 1000 Guineas. Bounding unlucky? Or was Costa too good today? I'll have to watch the replay when I get home.

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.

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.

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!

I was looking at the race The Filly is in (r9) and noticed this...
Huh? Sequin [ex Huffer](6m Pins (AUS) - Glitzy) Why did they change her name? I like this one better but she'll always be Huffer to me!

Oh, it's changed again? She was named Sequin originally, but there was a radio promotion with temporary ownership, and that included changing her name. I guess that's over now!
Not sure about Xquisit. Hope she's ok. Bit worried - didn't look good. Final Touch was so fabulous in the G2 Breeders S just now. Amazing mare.

She won? Oh yea I can't wait to see the replay.
Stupid moment of the night.... was confusing Ms. Willow with Ms. Pus$y O'Reilly. Duh! Time Keepers trainer is listed as Floyd Mullineaux. I don't know this name. Should I? Again fabulous 3rd by Pinzaara. I am just thrilled for you. Never knew that about Huffer (although I had once seen a picture of her and what seemed like a thousand owners haha!)! Thanks for that!
