Whoa nice field and big step up for The Filly who I've been watching (like everyone else, I'd imagine) and who I like so much.
How does one even make a pick with a field like this??!! Fitting to end last years thread with Mufhasa and I, of course, agree with your sentiments. Happy new thread haha! Good Lord I think, since it's tomorrow in NZ, it's THE day, no? Cannot wait to see who gets Horse of the Year!

That's right! The awards are coming up in just a few hours. I'm on the late shift at work, but I'll be following the results online as they come in!
Have a look at this 3yo maiden winner at Ruakaka yesterday. WOW. http://www.nzracing.co.nz/RaceInfo/4...ce-Detail.aspx That's a spectacular performance. Trainer has confirmed he's heading for the 2000 Guineas in November, probably via Hawke's Bay. One to watch, for sure!

2012-13 awards results:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times...out-top-honour Congrats to Ocean Park!  And the horse that didn't race in NZ all season gets the 3yo award. A bit disappointing, but not unexpected. Just one vote for Habibi is a shame.

Am only having a very short horsie break this morning but I did look at the fields @ Te Rapa (since I hadn't before) and oh I do so love the field for that first race. (Good luck to Belfast Lad who doesn't have to win as his 2 in a row a little wile back was astonishing and Shootoff, Kidnapped and Palm Island). (... and good luck to Wattle Bay in his race. Get that 2nd win!). Don't forget to include updates on Pinzaara and Archie whenever you have news, ed.

Not sure what happened with Keentorule... any idea if he's okay? Hope so (and Rusty Lace too. I couldn't tell why he / she was scratched from the replay). Beautiful win though. One to watch! Cheers to Postman's Daughter for winning the Foxbridge Plate (which I've yet to watch). Tough field... nice to read that she won. Otaki meeting scrapped cause of the earthquake(s)? Hope everyone out that way is alright.

Both horses are fine.
No one was hurt in yesterday's earthquake down there, luckily! But it's the same area as the one a few weeks ago, so they're going through a bit of a horrible ordeal! Hope that's the last of them. But, yeah, the track there has some old stands, and they wanted to make sure they're structurally secure. So happy for Postman's Daughter! She tries so hard every time, and she never gets much respect. 16-1 odds today, 20-1 when she won a G2 earlier, and three G1 places at 34-1, 26-1 and 20-1! She beat an amazing field fair and square today. Nice runs by Xanadu, Final Touch, Fritzy and Sangster. Wattle Bay ran his heart out in his race! So close.

Hastings fields.
 The Makfi is of course amazing. But look at the 3yo race that opens the card! Four undefeated horses, and some of them are rated so highly - El Roca and Sir Andrew are both entered for the Caulfield Guineas. Then there's Touche, who was so good last season, and Laced Up, who's Jimmy Choux's little sister.

First off congrats cause I know you had to have had this.
I just watched the replay and am confused... what happened with Miss Pelear and Thunderbird One? Survived is such a nice horse... pleasure to watch him win and nice run by Full of Spirit, of course. Another brave run from Fritzy but oh... the one who took my breath away was Final Touch, way out wide, and that extra gear she found. Great race. I hope every one (Miss Pelear, Thunderbird One and poor Leigh!) is alright. Happy to see The Filly won her race... haven't yet watched the replay but will get to it!
