New Zealand Racing, 2015-16

What the... why didn't I know about the great races on Tuesday?

Okay I am completely confused. First of all I hate it when horses get taken down and I am a fan of Spoke to Carlo and it's not cause Soriano is one of my all time favorites (I think I have had my Soriano avatar for even longer than Bullish Luck! ). BUT come on, he wasn't taken down? For THAT? And then if you watch the replay and listen the announcer says a different result from the way it's listed (Vavasour 2nd?). Confused! Man poor Soriano that SUCKED. Nice for Consensus and all but...

Great fields for the weekend especially the 2000 Guineas (who are you liking there, Ed? Kinda rooting for Serena Miss and TJL but oh so many nice kids here!_. Good luck to Antonio in his race as well as Locket, Blood Brothah and Jimmy Mac... and... TOMORROWLAND!

A shame about Tim Bell. Poor kid. So sorry for everyone who knew him.

The Soriano incident was a strange one. The original finish was Consensus, Vavasour, Spoke To Carlo and Soriano, but then Soriano's people (rightly) lodged a protest.

Vavasour was taken down to fourth, but then her people wanted to protest against Spoke To Carlo! But the timeframe for protesting had elapsed by that time, which was a bit unlucky.

I'm not going to the 2000 Guineas this year - first one I've missed since 2007! But I can't wait to watch it.

How awful! Carlo seriously needed to come down.

Oh well.

Any idea when Soriano will bow out?

Just watched Ali Baba's sole win again... big fan of Michael Moroney so that would be good too!

Exciting!

edit - Probably my only bet of the night and just for fun... Tomorrowland and Sports Illustrated with Barbaric and Black Mascara underneath.

Ali Baba is a really exciting horse. His 4th in the Sarten was amazing.

But the first two races today have favoured horses racing near the pace, so I'm thinking it might not be easy to come from far back today. Maybe a horse like Amarula might go wire to wire.

Red Dirt Girl at 43-1! Stunning result in the Pegasus.

OH MY GOD.

I have no words to describe the 2000 Guineas.

That was absolutely breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know there were much more important races yesterday BUT did you see how good Blood Brotha ran (wish they had trackus for that!)? Beautiful win by Southern Sav but oh what a run that was and very well done by Jimmy Mac as well!!! Gave me chills.

Not bad for an old man in his 62nd start. Looks like someone isn't ready to retire!

Very much enjoyed your Barbaric piece and as quoted, yeah he sure deserved that win. I can never be disappointed with Tomorrowland. He'll be back to himself one of these days.

Red Dirt Girl was awesome!
