SUCKS that Zac is out (kidney stone)... wonder who gets the mount!
He's not a morning horse, always been like that. Was the same way in Singapore.

Prebble is listed on Military Attack as of 9:33 Sunday morning local. Must have passed fit.

Thanks Kitan.

Awesome that Blazing Speed won and whoa... Gibson totally ruled the Sprint Cup. Didn't hit it but oh well, it's all good!

Replay(s): (for anyone who missed it and cares. There's also the mini-site that Kitan linked previously)...

I am assuming Lucky Nine still goes to Singapore to defend his Kris Flyer title no matter what...

Was catching up on Lugers earlier replays... Jesus that is a nice horse. No one beats Able Friend but it will be interesting to see how the Champions Mile plays out.

Love that the mini-site always has the replays of past greats. Good Lord Bullish Luck, Able Friend, Good Ba Ba ... those will always be my favorites of all time.

Completely dominant. I know they ran the first half in 50 seconds, but his final 1/4 was a shade over 21. Breathtaking stuff.

That was a stunning performance.

Nice to see Princess Coup's son Thewizardofoz make a winning debut.

They're thinking about the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot...

Curious to see if he can accelerate the same way on the flat mile. I don't expect it to be an issue, however. He is a beast.

Wow was it really ten years ago?

I will never forget that and as if to foreshadow remember that SW's workout buddy Highlili beat him in a barrier trial?

I did not fall apart... I was a huge Bullish Luck fan (a fan of both) but I remember the call so perfectly and the massive crowd going completely silent... feeling so bad for Felix.

I love following NZ especially these days and there are some phenomenal horses over there but yeah... those were the great days of HK racing - my favorite of all time - and I was so lucky to have stumbled up it at the right time as I had only been a racing fan for one year.

Had glanced at this in the SCMP but very happy you posted it so I could read it again.

Man, it is time to retire good old California Memory.

Good for Andreas for pulling him up...

Classic race between 2 champions and a classic race call to boot.

Ahhh I have waited for this day.

Thrilled to read about the retirement ceremony for one of my favorites of all time, California Memory...
