Ooh, close. Hope you put Guiseppina in there somewhere.

I liked Antonio Lombardo and Shanghai Bund in the Classic, so I didn't expect this. Whoa!

But what a great performance.

Sorry about the sound again.

No good for poor old Sir Slick. But a really good race.

He's had 9 wins from 15 starts now!

Aaah well (very) nice for the winner. Thanks for the replay!

Good old Sir Slick. Great to see him anyway although I do of course wish... well, you know.

Any recollection of Our Nautique? He won the All American at Golden Gate yesterday...

I do remember him - I was at the track for his maiden win. Thanks for letting me know! Great that he's doing well.

Here's his NZ/Aus career:

Oh yeah, another Pins boy!

Eagle Mountain back in training in your part of the world.

A bit on Mufhasa too.

Any idea who he's up against?

I think and hope you're right.

You go, Mufhasa!

How long hs it been since Vosne Romanee won (... and why did I think Banchee was retiring)?!

VR hasn't won a single race since he clinched HOTY with a G1 in March 2010.

Banchee's still going strong. But I think this might be her last season.

He was so amazing! Great performance.

And, here in Auckland, you'll be happy to know that Upsala ran brilliantly to finish second in the G2 Concorde. It was won by the so, so talented Durham Town - 5 wins from 7 starts for him now.

Sorry about the delay with the replays. Should be able to post them tomorrow.

AAAAAHHHHHH DID HE REALLY???

I am thrilled to hear that! I was going to ask about him about a week ago but thought gee there is probably no good news so...

Very very happy and take your time with replays... I know you have a life.

Can't wait to see them though!

I am dying here!!!

Okay first off yes fantastic sound quality once again thank God.... brilliant Mufhasa! That was an absolute thrill to watch. Even though I knew the results i was having a heart attack.

I realized something...

That racecaller? I could close my eyes and see it. I don't know... that doesn't happen much but he was outstanding.

Clicked on the 2nd link to see my beloved Upsala.....

and Atapi!!! I was shocked!

I had NO idea he was still running... thought he was like 10 or 11 now and assumed retired so that was absolutely wonderful and I am so happy for the connections of Upsala - whoever they are - cause when he's having a good day it's a very good day!

Very patient ride on Atapi. I was almost screaming at the jockey to do something, haha, but then...

I have never heard of the winner ed, I'm embarrassed to say.

Very nice though.

Thanks so much for always taking the time to post these races.

Some of the best in the world.

What a field that was in the Captain Cook!

Just awesome and I am now in a great mood.

Mufhasa gets better and better with age! He is amazing.

I just found out I'm not allowed to use the NZ racing TV channel's footage to post race replays on Youtube. They've just sent me a message about it. So I can't post any more, and I may have to delete the existing ones.

Disappointing - I thought sharing our racing with the world was a good thing.

Any updates?

Hey how is Jimmy doing?

edit - I just remembered something...

There was a big race that Red Ruler aaalllmmoooossstt won at the very end of last year. (Someone came flying at the end and right when i thought oh hooray Red Ruler nailed it).

I know you know which I'm talking about and was wondering which race that is (duh) and who is going.

I thought it was a G1 but not sure... I do remember a really really nice field though just can't remember who else was there (Vosne Romanee was it's just everyone else I've forgotten).
