Wow, great! Thanks for telling me. I had no idea. I usually watch HK races anyway when I get home from work on Sundays, but I'll definitely be watching tonight!
Yeah, Vosne Romanee won the NZ Stakes. This is the biggest week of racing in Auckland every year - three huge racedays on Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday.
Wednesday is Auckland Cup day, with that G1 handicap race and two other listed races - the Sunline Vase and Westbury Classic.
And the second Saturday has the G1 NZ Stakes for older horses and the G1 Diamond Stakes for 2yos (which Banchee won last year!), as well as a listed 3yo sprint race.
So there's still lots to look forward to here this week! It's great that it doesn't all stop after the Derby.
