Yeah, all fine, thank you. But the people of Christchurch are going through such a tough time at the moment. Feel so sorry for them. It must be awful.
In more positive news, we have a new young star jockey! I think Rory Hutchings is only 16 years old, and he only started riding at the end of April. There were 8 races today - he won 4 and was second in another one.

I know he's staying here until November - he wants to stick with some of the good horses he rides, like Scarlett Lady and Keep The Peace.
I think he'll go overseas after that. I wish he would stay here, but the money is just so much better in places like Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai. I think he'll go to one of those.

I wish he'd stay too but I guess it's hard to pass up what I'd assume he's now being offered.
Aaah well good for him. You know I love Jimmy so very much and am thrilled to see the smallest piece on him but awww I feel kinda bad they didn't use a picture of The Hombre! http://www.thoroughbrednews.com.au/s....aspx?id=53699 Honestly ed is he like the biggest thoroughbred out there or did he just look that way during his last race? He looked massive! Bigger than Zenyatta and Midnight Lute. Someone once posted that the two of them crossed paths once at Hollywood Park and it was like an eclipse.  Let me know who else is going in this race when you can since I'm a moron and cannot find such things.

The Hombre is HUGE! I think he's the biggest horse currently racing in NZ. I haven't seen any that big for a long time.
He's been a bit disappointing lately. He's much better than that.Here's the field for that race: 1 62780 Our Lukas (2) 58 Shane Scriven 2 X9420 Mr Clangtastic (1) 56 Damian Browne 3 22715 Shuffle the Cash (12) 56 Eddie Wilkinson 4 51X20 Spechenka (10) 56 Ryan Wiggins 5 63120 Gold in Dubai (7) 54.5 Michael Walker 6 22370 The Hombre (13) 54 Jim Byrne 7 62203 Little Stranger (3) 53 Scott Galloway 8 47147 Teary Eyed (9) 53 Jason Taylor 9 21X21 Arcenciel (11) 53 Chris Munce 10 X1365 Danagaze (4) 53 Andrew Spinks 11 80480 Warrior Within (15) 53 Paul Hammersley 12 1X639 American Gangster (8) 53 Nathan Thomas 13 51280 General Mackjosh (5) 53 Melissa Walters (a) 14 74606 Patmoss (6) 53 Joe Bowditch 15 02338 Rambling On (14) 53 So two NZ chances - The Hombre and Arcenciel, who I think is going to be very good but maybe needs a few more months before winning at this level.

Hey ed can you refresh my memory...
Coup Align makes his belated Singapore debut this weekend. I remember he's a sprinter and that's about it (duh). Feel like sharing info on this one? Thanks!

Thanks!
It's a nice little field (R7 on Sunday) with some pretty decent types (Tuxedo Moon, Perfect Pins and Amadeus Mozart... a few others I'm not familiar with at all). Should be fun!

Nice name!
Is Eagle Mountain over there or have I lost my mind?
