Sorry your friend didn't get to see Ellerslie at its best. It was pretty bleak on Saturday, but it's an amazing place on a sunny day.

Yeah, Jimmy's off to Australia now for the Rosehill Guineas on March 26 and then the AJC Derby. Apparently they might look at the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot after that. Big call! I think he's good enough to compete on the world stage and win some big races overseas, but I couldn't be confident with him against the likes of Goldikova. But I love their ambition and faith in their horse, who is a truly sensational athlete.
