Annoying! But I think I know what happened there - they had some issues with the track early in the afternoon and delayed the races significantly. I think race six ended up being at the time race eight was meant to be!

Thanks for explaining as you are probably right! Still not fixed but someday...

In the meantime it's awesome to see the noms for the Telegraph and the Levin Classic (!).

Yeah, really looking forward to both races. It will be interesting to see Soubrettes face her first G1 test in the Telegraph.

Ed how is Bounding? I haven't seen a thing since she had to be scratched from the Railway... any update?

Can't wait to see the final fields and I do hope Tomorrowland draws well (although there are, of course, about ten I'd be happy if they won. ).

By the way... Bella Court looked really good! Took me a while to catch up but had to mention that as I know we'll be hearing that name a LOT.

Bounding is out for a little while, probably about March:

Bella Court was amazing! She didn't know what she was meant to be doing but was still way too good for them that day. I hope she goes well in the Million.

Thanks for that... not sure how I missed it!

Liked your Wolfwhistle piece!

Well I am thrilled I just got to watch Iamishwaras race (I should call it Mighty Solomon's race I suppose and yes.. a very nice win for him, wasn't it?).

Just saw the fields for Saturday... can't wait!

The Telegraph is such an exciting race. It's one of the most even fields I've seen for that race.

I think the Levin Classic is possibly a little bit disappointing. It's a G1, but it's looking like the Karaka Mile will have a better field next week even though it's Listed and has half the prize money! Volkstok'n'barrell, Rockfast, Stratocaster, Tavy...
