I wonder (if he's had enough). Poor big boy he sure is fun to watch but when he doesn't fire... it's just sad.

Great to read about Final Touch and thanks so much for posting it.

When is your interview at The Informant? Hope you get it!!!

Was looking at the noms for Saturday at Ellerslie and first off (and most important) good luck to Pinzaara! Since she's cross entered is there one race you prefer over the other?

Cannot wait for the final field for the Easter H.!!!!! Looks like it'll be great.

Just looked at all the noms at all tracks for Friday and Saturday and my head is spinning! :D

Great weekend of racing there!

I love the Easter Handicap field! Easter Handicap day is always sad, because it's the last G1 of the season, but at least we're going out in style. Just such a deep field. Maybe Chintz or Abidewithme? I don't know. Can't wait to see it.

As for Pinzaara, I'm not sure. Both fields look tough - In Style in the 1400m, and Twilight Dragon and Flower Bomb in the 1200m. If In Style goes in the Easter H instead, then maybe I'd rather see her go for that race. But I'm sure she'll make me proud again in either race!

My interview is tomorrow afternoon. Really getting nervous now!

Hope it went well!!!

I'm never good at interviews, but I feel good about that one. I think it went well. They are interviewing other people, but some of the things they said made it sound like I was the leading candidate. Really excited. Can't wait to hear!

my miss storm cat 04-10-2014 10:40 AM

That is awesome! Fingers crossed. :)

my miss storm cat 04-12-2014 01:16 AM

What a great run that was!!!!!

You must be so proud!

Hers is the only replay I've watched and will catch the others tomorrow but wow ed... she looked really really good!

Happy 3rd! :tro:

So easy for Zinko!

_ed_ 04-15-2014 09:54 AM

Yeah, Pinzaara ran another amazing race. She's so great!

She's going to have one more run before a well-deserved winter break - probably Saturday the 26th. But that's only if the track isn't wet. And then she'll race a few more times in the spring before retiring around Christmas.

Whoa, the Easter was a great race! Albany Reunion is a tough and talented horse. Thrilled to see Rollout The Carpet back near her best as well.

I liked the Champagne win by Caduceus. Derby 2015?

Speaking of the Derby, no good again for Puccini in Sydney. But he was better this time. He hated the wet track again, but at least he showed he can run. He's so much better than that.

Huge news about The Hombre: http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...-on-home-track

my miss storm cat 04-17-2014 02:25 PM

Still need to catch up on a few of the races (Caduceus, etc) from last weekend, I'm sorry to say but oh! The news about The Hombre... I am sooooo happy.

Thanks for that!

Any news on the job yet? Hope you got it. :)

my miss storm cat 04-20-2014 10:50 AM

Glad the big lug :D got to run one last time.

Saw where he finished and will (finally!) catch the replay later. Would have guessed I Am Sam woulda won that one.

Happy Easter.

Best tweet ever today...

From one of the NZ sites, a handwritten note that said:

Dear Sydney,

Thanks for the prize money.

Kind regards,

New Zealand

:D :tro:

_ed_ 04-22-2014 05:17 AM

Haha, I love it!

my miss storm cat 04-25-2014 06:59 PM

Some really nice fields at Te Rapa... hadn't realized your girl was entered!

Good luck, Pinzaara!

my miss storm cat 04-26-2014 09:44 AM

Happy to see Chambord and Lauren Tate both won... have not yet watched any replay except for one so cannot comment on Ruud Awakening BUT WOW!

"Pinzaara has fought on resolutely as she always does..."

VERY nice 2nd... congrats!!! You must be overjoyed. :tro:

_ed_ 04-27-2014 04:09 PM

So proud, yet again. She's just so tough and brave. Love her.

Good racing all day there. Upsets in the two stakes races, but they were both strong performances. And Chambord looked so good.
