Australian horse Ockham's Razor won the Million. Silk Pins second, Warhorse third.

2000 Guineas winner Rock 'n' Pop won the 3yo mile! He hit the lead at the top of the stretch, then another horse went straight by him. But he fought back so bravely. Great win.

She didn't do very well, sadly. She was prominent for most of the race, but had to work quite hard to get to that forward position. She tired in the stretch.

It was a lot to ask of her... hopefully they do well and we continue hearing about these connections (and horse!).

HUGE clash in the Waikato Guineas at Te Rapa tomorrow - the Derby favourite vs the Oaks favourite.

1 1121 Ocean Park 2 85 56.5 Chad Ormsby Gary Hennessy, Matamata
2 12542 Shuka 7 80 56.5 Hayden Tinsley Peter & Dawn Williams, Byerley Park
3 32115 St Mark 5 70 56.5 Matthew Cameron John Sargent, Matamata
4 94656 Mustang 1 69 56.5 Shohei Shirahama (a) David Miller, Tauranga
5 02312 Guess What 3 65 56.5 Jonathan Riddell Paul Shailer, Matamata
6 15034 Viking Ace 4 65 56.5 Cameron Lammas Karyn McQuade, Matamata
7 25361 Barney 9 63 56.5 Craig Grylls Anne Herbert, Cambridge
8 X5610 Sacred Knight 8 61 56.5 Sam Spratt Stephen McKee, Ardmore
9 2131 Silent Achiever 6 82 54.5 James McDonald Roger James, Cambridge

If Silent Achiever wins, she's going to the Derby instead of the Oaks.

Rock 'n' Pop and Knight's Tour are still my Derby horses at the moment, but I'll watch this race with interest.

Shuka's a really nice horse as well - keeps running 2nd, 3rd and 4th in all the big races.

She beat him! And did it so effortlessly - ears pricked!

One of those performances where you really feel lucky to have been at the track to see it.

What a filly. Great to see Roger James have some luck with this new superstar after what happened with He's Remarkable.

I have a new #1 Derby horse, I think.

Oh that is awesome! Again I wanted to hear it from you before I watched the replay which I'll do in a bit.

Lucky you! So glad you were there!!!

I'm almost afraid to ask where Shuka finished...

First off, you GO Mufhasa!!!!!

I don't know a lot of the names in the filly race but ummm the field for the International? I would die seeing all those horses at once!

Amazing!

Why did I think Goldschatz was hurt or retired?

Six O'Clock News is on quite a roll these days and hooray of course but you know who would be so cool if they won (illiterate)?

Vosne Romanee.

I wish I were going!

I think Goldschatz did have an injury, but NZ beaches work miracles sometimes.

It would be so good to see VR win, but he hasn't looked like doing that for a while now. But I'd love it if he did!

Early odds for the two G1 races...

International:

Hold It Harvey 7
Six O'Clock News 12
Booming 8.50
Doctor Fremantle 13
Vosne Romanee 26
Goldschatz 81 (!!)
Sum Up 26
Postman's Daughter 11
Shez Sinsational 3f
Arcenciel 41
Rock 'n' Pop 3.80
Our Famous Eve 16


Sprint:

Mufhasa 1.90f
Veyron 4.80
Run Like Al 21
Undisclosed 31
Guiseppina 3.20
Fazzle 18
Baby Guinness 31
Sangster 14
