New Zealand Racing, 2015-16

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/

Thanks for that.

Exciting field for the Captain Cook Stakes!!! (Hoping for Soriano but oh how I love them all).

Please blow a kiss to Storming the Tower for me at Ellerslie after he wins that first race (he should!). Oooh Selfie and Strata Lady and oh...that field for the Concorde H... gotta root for Durham Town but will be thrilled for whoever wins. That is my kinda field.

Lest I forget, godspeed, Locket at Riccarton on Friday.

Beautiful day at Ellerslie at the moment. Can't wait for the races coming up here today!

I actually picked Salford Art in the first race - 5th in the Counties Cup last time, and this should be easier than that. But we'll see.

Busy day ahead, covering Trentham as well. But it should be really good racing at both venues.

Wow, Lisa Allpress. Eight days after that bad spill at Otaki, she's back and winning races again.

Sofia Rosa!

Beautiful result in the Concorde, and Julinsky Prince does it again in the Captain Cook!
