That was really nice to see! I had just searched for him a few days ago to no avail.

Terrible about the weather and the Windsor Park Plate but oh... just looked at the few results there were and Authentic Paddy? Really? That is pretty cool!

It was really sad to lose that great day yesterday. It was the right call, but so disappointing. At least the Gold Trail will be added to the October 3 card and the Windsor Park Plate has been rescheduled for later that month.

Nice racing at Avondale yesterday. So great to see Chris Dell back.

Leaving for my beautiful cruise, ed... lovely Wind Star ship and beginning by sailing down the Grand Canal in Venice... very excited. I WILL check the Informant once or twice, especially to see who wins next weekend. (Oooh and I just now saw the Soriano piece. Exciting!!!).

Have a beautiful couple of weeks, ed, and stay safe, good horsies.

I am listening to Citizen Erased and just finished packing... off to bed. See ya in a couple of weeks!

Thanks again for the Xcellent part in the link you posted. It is just very good to hear his name again (especially since it's frustrating not being able to find anything at all)!

I hope you're having a great time.

Secret Spirit, what a filly. Four stakes wins in a row.

It was GREAT and thanks!

Off to the Informant and the NZ Racing site to watch replays and then bed and more.

Sounds like I have missed exciting races and looking forward to catching up.

Any news on either Soriano or Tomorrowland? I can see you were the last post on retirements so will check to see who won the Arc (no I really have no clue) and then see who retired and back latah. It was good having a break and not being online AT ALL!

Hope all is well.

(Happy to read Addictive Habit got a G1 and cannot wait to see it. That's awesome!).

Soriano was a bit disappointing in the Livamol, but she'll keep racing through into the summer before retiring to have some babies.

Tomorrowland is back next week!

Covered by Pins! Well that will be one nice baby!

Thanks and cannot wait to see Tomorrowland again!!!

Watched many wonderful replays but forgot to see what's what for tonight (tomorrow). Duh!

edit - Man that is a nice field for the Matamata Cup! KInda rooting for Spoke to Carlo but will be thrilled if Ransomed, Deane, Tidy Express, Storming the Tower... oh never mind I am rooting for half the field haha!

Good luck to TJL and Back in Black in their respective races.

One thing I still have not (yet) seen is Jimmy's sisters nice win... you GO, Miss Wilson! Very exciting

edit - Oh geez just saw Recite entered! Whoa that's a fun field with Kisses... good luck to Fried Rice and to Blood Brothah in their races too!

Sorry for gushing.
