A nice end to Thanksgiving watching that one.

Welcome back, Natuzzi. Maybe next time.

Very much enjoyed your piece on Tomorrowland (and thrilled still ) and love the way you add in things that are interesting like the last part about the sire. Well done once again!

Man this is getting hard to keep track of cause it's depressing.

This is Giant Turtles 4th start in HK today... I turned it off after he reared at the start.

So now he has finished 12th twice and 14th twice. Wish he'd go home.

edit - Keep forgetting to say that was some win by Alamer!

Sorry to hear that. Hong Kong is a very different environment. Some horses love it, while a lot of others never get comfortable. I'd like to see him come home too.

Yeah, Alamer was sensational. 60-1! Looking back through her replays, she'd been a bit unlucky in her recent races. But I never thought she could take that step and beat such a good field. She did!

Ed I realize it was never certain but there's a notice on the JRA site that Rising Romance will not run in the Arima Kinen and I was wondering if you have any idea what the plan might be for her (?). Thanks!

Finally watched Tavago (sometimes it take me a while to catch up - very nice!) and Saint Emillion (... how easy was that?).

I believe I am all caught up now.

Tavago was excellent - that's exactly the sort of performance you want to see over a mile for a horse heading towards the Derby. Exciting times. I'll be calling one of his trainers within the next hour, so there should be an update on the website later today.

It sounds like Rising Romance has gone out for a break - http://www.horseracing.com.au/news/n...ising-romance/
