New Zealand Racing, 2011-12

[_ed_]

In better news, it was a great day on Saturday.

Red Ruler was scratched from the G2 Counties Cup because of soreness in a front leg. The trainer said “I don’t think it’s anything serious and he should be fine again after a couple of days.”

In his absence, the Cup was one for the little guys - Postman's Daughter won the race for local owner/trainer/breeder Don Walker.

The lovely Fazzle finally won a big race in the Breeders. Replay: http://youtu.be/GT-_v9-ZjPE


Travino won the 2yo stakes race well. I loved the run of the second horse, Silk Pins, down the outside. Replay: http://youtu.be/hwSsg0xebhI


And look at this maiden win on the undercard. Derby horse?

Great time of year.
