That's wonderful to hear she's progressing.

So ed... do you get to go? Hope so!

Thoughts on HOY and the categories?

I'd think maybe O'Marilyn for 2YO, Rising Romance for 3YO (but that is an impossible category!!!) (and it kills me not saying Puccini), Bounding for Sprinter, Dundeel for Middle Distance but Stayer? God I just don't know (except for the only one who won't win is Graphic but I am happy to see him there anyway! Very cool!).

I mean do they go with Silent Achiever for winning at Rosehill or stay local with Who Shot Thebarman (the Auckland Cup was a g1, right?) (who I would imagine has a slightly better shot than More Than Sacred for that very nice g3 win)?

What are your thoughts?

... And who wins HOY??!!

I think I will get to go, yeah! And I'm going to be on the voting panel from next year.

Some of these are so hard to call.

I'll go for Vespa for 2yo, but it's a 50/50 call. O'Marilyn has been so good as well.

I agree with you on Rising Romance for the 3yo, but that is a tough group to call!

Definitely Bounding for sprinter.

I would probably go Silent Achiever for both middle distance and stayer, but I think they will give middle distance to Dundeel. HOY is another really hard one, but I'll go Silent Achiever.

Feel sorry for Viadana - her season would be good enough for an award usually.

Ed did you see that Jetset Lad won (Doomben)? (... and Lauren Tate was 4th!).

It had only been 875 days since his last trip to the winner's circle.

How cool is that?

That is so awesome. Thrilled for his connections.

Rangatira was so amazing in the Wellington Steeplechase yesterday. What a horse.

So thrilled for Trish after Spalato's amazing win! She's an awesome person to work with.
