You deserve it. Just thrilled for you!

Hope you'll tell us a little about it whenever you can.

Very nice to see Allez Eagle back.

Looks like a nice field for the Rotorua Stakes! No jockey listed for your girl as of yet... who gets the mount?

Good luck!!!

She was going to be ridden by Mark Sweeney - her usual partner, Sam Spratt, has gone to Europe for our winter.

But I've just heard Pinzaara is scratched. She has conjunctivitis. So that's it for her this season - time for a long and well-deserved rest.

Awww very sorry to hear that but yes... a well deserved rest. She's had a lot of nice races!

Hope she recovers quickly.

Hahahaha brilliant!

"Has he done enough? Has he done enough? You'd better believe it!"

Gave me the chills listening to his voice crack. Thrilled he won!

Silverdale pulled up after the line but nothing on the Stewards report (?). Hope he's okay.

The view from the Ellerslie press box. I love this job already.

Good luck to Postman's Daughter, who really should be able to win at Ellerslie on Saturday (confidence builder?), and to I Am Sam at Wanganui cause that would be awesome!

I know he's not a win machine but what a nice, hard-trying boy he is!

(... luck to The Filly and Flower Bomb as well).

Now that you are in the top echelon of racing can you try to find out what is up with Veyron someday if you get the chance?

Thanks, ed!!!

Veyron's just having quiet, easy exercise at the moment. He'll come back to racing in the spring.

Aw, halfway down the stretch I thought I was going to write something about Postman's Daughter winning. So close.

I just watched the replay and my heart was sinking when they caught her.

Would love to see her get a nice win one day, once again.

That was a nice race by The Filly and wow... the old man, John Gray? What a great finish that was.

All Decked Out did nicely at the trials today! First appearance since Boxing Day. Not fully fit, but ran well to finish second in his trial.

Great to hear!

On a not-as-happy note poor Upsala is now in Singapore and finished last.

I wish he'd be sent home.

Managed to find a NZ connection to California Chrome!

Really grateful to that website for giving me permission to quote that interview. And they were so nice about it!

John Sargent is closing his NZ stable. It's a shame, but I guess it makes sense if he wants to succeed in Sydney.
