Haha! My mistake. I'll try to give more updates on Pinzaara and Archie (he was treated for a cold last week, but doing better now and having a trial later this month).

Yeah, their first G1 win! It is really hard to believe. And there were great scenes after the race - other trainers and jockeys going over and shaking their hands and hugging them. They're obviously popular guys. So that was such a nice result.

Wow, I think you're right about ADO. I hadn't noticed that before. Yeah, he may have held out Sir Andrew if that hadn't happened. I still really like ADO in the 2000 Guineas.

This guy is actually the 2000 Guineas favourite now:

And this one looks promising too, even though he's running out of time to sneak into the Guineas field.

You're probably thinking of Fantastic Honour! Lovely filly - placed in the Eclipse Stakes and Karaka Million last season.

She started this spring with a nice second to Orbity in a stakes race at Wanganui: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgVMOHN85F4

Then finished off the board after getting stuck in a speed duel in Bounding's fantastic Gold Trail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOGVms2IaAs

But she's still on track for the 1000 Guineas - equal 3rd favourite for that at 7-1 (with Costa Viva). Bounding's the 3-1 favourite, with Spellbinder (still amazed by her Soliloquy win) at 4-1.
