New Zealand Racing, 2015-16

Emily Monk and Go Nicholas have been the two most impressive winners for me so far today. Cancellara at 50-1 was unexpected!

Now we're getting serious with the Mr Tiz Trophy. Two hours to go until the Derby.

No More Tears! Lovely win.

Oh, Sacred Star. In case anyone might have forgotten how good you are, thanks for that reminder.

I believe Durham Town has been retired after that GREAT third placing in the Darley. What a horse.

Just watched the replay again and I can't catch my breath haha whoa what a finish but it's frustrating cause I can hear when the announcer says something about Splendido but cannt actually see what happened going up the rise (?). Cheers to Rangipo and to his wonderful stable mate Raghu and to What's the Story!!!!!

That was awesome and oh Durham Town... I need to go watch that again.

Not that this matters for such a miniscule amount but..

Nice!

What a close Derby. I was wrong about Rangipo - he's got plenty of stamina!

I'm not sure what happened with Splendido. He definitely hit the rail, and he might have stumbled for a step or two. But he seemed to be fine afterwards, luckily! Capella and Valley Girl were both affected by it, which made their performances even better.

Thanks and I am really stunned you took the time to answer as I know you're writing simultaneously (just read two of your pieces)... so exciting... all the races... must get some sleep but will watch ALL the replays again first thing. : )

Hooray for Derby Day!
