VR scratched because he's running in another, weaker race the same day.

Quite a few really promising horses in this. I like La Vienne, I think.

The Hombre runs on the undercard as well and will be the even-money favourite.


And, tomorrow at Dargaville, it's...

1 53343 Uppland 6 65 59.0 Matthew Cameron Kenny & Lisa Rae, Ruakaka
2 4210X Whistling Straits 2 63 58.5 Lisa Allpress Donna & Dean Logan, Ruakaka

5 46192 Pinzaara 3 64 56.5 Craig Grylls Stephen McKee, Ardmore
6 59241 Shan's Joy 7 63 56.5 Alex Forbes (a2) Jeff McVean & Emma-Lee Browne, Cambridge
7 76X8X Charli Jay 1 58 54.0 Trudy Thornton Dick Stevenson, Waipu
8 8X8X0 Mojave Aster 8 58 54.0 Leith Innes Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie, Maungatautari

Uppland is the half-brother to Upsala, so I'd like to see him do well too. Preferably 2nd.

I would be thrilled to have my filly come in 4th. Congrats and remember... next time!

No time for fainting so will check out the other card later.

Can't wait to see the Vosne Romanee field and who The Hombre will be beating.

Again, cheers ed. That is fantastic.

Oh, yeah, sorry, should have mentioned it was at Riccarton! Eagle Mountain is the favourite there after his big run last time. He'll be hard to beat.

I like La Vienne and Jeu de Cartes (half-sister to Nom du Jeu) in the Hawke's Bay Cup.

Okay well that concludes my break!

That's what i want to hear though... later on, after I hear from you who did what and watch the replay? That's it... that would be the best.

Good luck to you and to Jeu de Cartes jus because.

I don't know like half the horses in the field I'm embarrassed to say.

Hope you nail it!

Come home safe, everyone.

Inferno wins. VR and EM didn't really feature in the finish. I'll have to see the replay to see where they ended up. Disappointing.

And a good third for The Hombre. Ginner Hart and Double Barrel finished strongly down the outside and got past him - I don't think he saw them until it was too late.

I love the story about Windwhistle, who came 2nd in the G3 Canterbury Gold Cup today.

He was bought as a yearling for $1000.

He's now won $108,360.

That is great and unexpected news.

What is he now 6 or so? 7?

Happy to hear it. I hope now he'll remember how to do it.

He's only 5, actually. But he's had a lot of starts - 47. Nicholson really races his horses a lot.

Good field!
Villifye again Postman's Daughter or Platinum Princess? What do you think?

I like Lady Kipling but it's been a while, hasn't it?

Villifye seems like a little win machine.

Villifye's been amazing this season. She's won four of her nine starts in 2011/12, and placed three times. Incredible consistency.

It has been a while since Lady Kipling won a good race - December was the last one. But since then she's been 4th behind Shez Sinsational in a G1, second behind Veyron in a G1, sixth behind Scarlett Lady in a G1 and fourth behind Say No More in a G1! So she's not running badly. I think she's right in this. I like her and Postman's Daughter.

Floria never runs a bad race either.

Jimmy was disappointing today. Had nothing when JR asked him for his usual sprint.

But Burgundy was awesome at Te Rapa in a G3 sprint, and Dolmabache was a 27-1 upset winner of the Travis.

Yeah I wondered what was going on with Jimmy poor guy.

Why was Mufhasa scratched? He's okay right?

Nice news about the others though.

Mufhasa's fine - just a stone bruise. He'll be 100% in a couple of days.

As for Jimmy... see the Retirements thread.
