Odds:

Mufhasa $4.60f
Justanexcuse $26
Fritzy Boy $15
Green Supreme $15
I Am Sam $41
The Hombre $26
He's Remarkable $13
Time Keeper $61
Khemosabi $61
Ocean Park $5.60
Fleur de Lune $6.50
Guiseppina $11
Art Beat $31
No Excuse Maggie $31
Innovation $26
Xanadu $9
Baby Guinness $31
Smoulder $31
Civics Rock $101
Torino SCR

I like Guiseppina too, except she's never won on a track rated worse than good. It's not going to be too bad here, but it is going to be a rain-affected track. So that's the only question I have over her.

One other thing worth mentioning is it's Fritzy Boy's FIFTH time in this race!

2008: 1st
2009: 9th
2010: 3rd
2011: 5th
2012: ?

Kate wins the first at Hastings! A talented 3yo filly by St Reims (2002 NZ Derby winner). She's being set for the VRC Oaks at Flemington.

OCEAN PARK
Xanadu
Justanexcuse (?!)
Mufhasa (after a brutal speed duel with Khemosabi, who dropped out to last)
Guiseppina
Time Keeper

Ocean Park now heads to Australia for the Underwood, then Caulfield Cup and/or Cox Plate. He's owned in Hong Kong, so he'll end up there in the not-too-distant future.

Good for him! Wish it had been Mufhasa but very happy all the same and can't wait for full results.

Wasn't he scratched right before some big race last season or am I thinking of someone else?

Could have sworn...

Anyway I hope everyone made it home safe and can't wait for the replay.

Thanks for the fast results!!!!! When is the next big race and who is pointed?

You're right - he was scratched from both the NZ Derby and Australian Derby the day before both of those races last season! So it's great that his luck turned around today.

His mother, Sayyida, was a hugely talented filly who looked like a real rising star. But then she broke her leg in the G2 Avondale Guineas. They were able to save her life, and one of her first foals was Ocean Park.

We have a few nice stakes races in the next couple of weeks, but the next really big race is the G1 Windsor Park Plate, back at Hastings on Sep 22. Early nominations for that one: http://www.nzracing.co.nz/Meetings/Meeting.aspx/40676

Thanks ed and of course I hadn't heard about him mom so thank you for the story and yeah the Derby was the race I was thinking of.

So happy the season is starting. Some of the best horses in the world... too bad they never show any of it here.

Maybe some day.

Really good performance. And Shaune Ritchie says she wasn't fully fit for this race and should get better.

SACRED FALLS!

Whoa, this is a scary good colt. 3 for 3 now, and in amazing style. He's the favourite for the 2000 Guineas now.

I logged onto NZ Racing to see the replay but no matter what I do when I get to results for that race it's the only one without the little camera... is there not a replay for that race for some reason? Do you get the same thing?

I want to see it and there seems to be a replay for every other race...

Thank you that was awesome! Thank you for letting them know and yeah he seems really really good.

Lots of bumping going on!

Who is the grey with the white blaze... Charlie Farley (Farlie?)?

So cute.

Thanks ed, that was a lot of fun to see and I expect you're right and we'll be seeing a lot more of this one!

Oh hooray!!! Good luck to my Mr. The Hombre and Fritzy !

Who do you like in the Gold Trail, ed? I am just not too familiar with most of the field I'm embarrassed to say.

This one?

Oh my God what a great field. It's surreal.

I really like Pure Elegance in the Gold Trail. She's got a great pedigree (very close relative to Ethereal, Darci Brahma and Burgundy), and she won her only start so far by five. But Fix and Rollout The Carpet were good in strong races last year too.

Wow, this is a surprise: http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...-Paeroa-trials
