Thanks for both links and for the Fritzy news, poor guy. Oh forgot to ask in the Karaka Million? Who is the horse out wide who is flying at the end?

That was Savabill. He was only 5th, but it was a very good performance. He's definitely one to watch over more distance.
That was a great performance by Banchee! She has such a huge sprint. Last edited by _ed_ : 01-31-2011 at 09:33 PM.

 Nice field and yeah smart for avoiding Jimmy  .I only know half these horses but nice field! Who else is going to the race at Ellerslie instead? You will post any Fritzy Boy update, right (I know you will). Hopefully there's no news cause he's just fine!

It sounds like he's fine. He was going to run in a big G1 race on the 12th, but I think they've decided to take it easy with him for a while. The G1 Easter Handicap in April is the big target for the next few months.
Confirmed/likely for the Avondale Guineas: He's Remarkable, Arakti, Yourein, Encosta Diablo, O'Reilly's Prize, Nippin, Starcheeka And I heard a rumour that Banchee might run in it.  They're really seriously considering the Derby with her.

I think they should go for it!
You? Glad to hear Arakti will be in that one and that they'll take it slow with Fritzy.

Wow, I had a HUGE surprise today. I went to the Ruakaka races, expecting it to be a quiet little day...
After the second race, all of these horses came out and did a public workout - Keep The Peace, Roi d'Jeu, My Scotsgrey, Showcause and Mufhasa! Mufhasa looked amazing. He wanted to go so much faster. He had his head right down all the way around the track, lunging forward with each stride. I think Sam Spratt would have had sore arms afterwards!

Second... you will be doing a 2011 / 2012 thread right? Third... ed is this THE Bulginbaah??? The old man??? I love him! I mean I seriously doubt he'd beat the kids here but he's a nice boy and isn't he kinda campaigned in the opposite manner of our good Sir Slick? Is this him or a horsie with a very similar named?
