That's an awesome win by Veyron (8 wins now from 13 starts). But oh Sir Slick, I wish someone else trained you! Another amazing G1 3rd placing for the old man.

They're advertising a job as a TV presenter on the NZ racing channel - it's my dream job, and I think I might have a shot of getting it.
But the problem is I'd have to move to Hamilton. Nothing wrong with that city, but I love Auckland - most of my friends are here, and it's an awesome place. And I really like my current job of typing TV subtitles for the deaf - it's rewarding, I have great friends there, and I'm trying to build up the courage to ask one of them out! So I don't know what to do. It's a tough one. I filmed an audition for that job today anyway, and I was nervous, but I think it went pretty well. I don't know if they'll like it, though.

Moving away like that can suck but you'd be able to go home a lot... right? Courage to ask one of them out??? Geez ed I'd fly halfway around the world haha I'm sure she'll want to go out with you. Had no idea about writing subtitles and that is wonderful but ed... you need to do this if you're offered the position! Who knows... maybe you could start a trend and have the first subtitles for the deaf on the racing broadcasts! Post the fields when you can!!!

Not Fritzy Boy's day today. The Hombre was second in his race.
Here's the Cup. It was an unforgettable race, but not in a good way... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdeOh-rIYZI  Horse and jockey were okay. But that's unbelievable.

Hey ed any idea why Upsala scratched the other day?
Any word on the job? (Fingers crossed!). Wanted to know if you heard about this... Fairy King Prawn relocating to NZ (yea!). I guess the weather was bad and they had to cancel the big farewell ceremony at Sha Tin this weekend but he's being relocated and was wondering if you had any idea where he's going to be living so I can beg you to go and visit him for me.

That's great news! I'll try to find out where he's going. It's a shame that Sunline has passed away, so the great rivals can't meet again.
No word on the job yet. I don't know why Upsala scratched, but I see he's entered again tomorrow. Hope he runs well!

Hey ed I'm in the middle of moving (well at the end of it... finally!) and I know I missed your birthday so I'm sorry about that and hope it was fantastic but I don't want to embarrass you by doing a thread that is SOOOOO stupidly (is that a word?) late.
Aaaarrgh I missed him? How did he do? Hey how's Imabayboy these days? Too many to wonder about.

Haha, thanks! It was a good day. Hope the move went well.
Upsala was 4th. He closed really nicely at the end, and I thought maybe the jockey left it just a little bit too late. But it was a nice run. I haven't heard anything about Imabayboy for a while, sorry.

We're gonna see a record broken in amazing style this season.
The most wins ever in a season by a jockey in NZ is 197. Today, May 30 - with still two months of the season to go - James McDonald has 193. He's incredible.
