Forgot to ask... I was thinking about Military Move and the Derby last year and there was a race that Vosne Romanee won right around the same time (unless I've lost my mind).
Do you know what I'm talking about (sorry! ) and if so is that one coming up?Military Move is running tonight... forgot to post that on HK!!! It's a nice field with Soviet Pearl, Jamesina and Sapelli. Not stellar but they're nice horses. He's got Beadman up (who really gave him his best ride over there - he was 2nd that time). He can (and kinda should) win!

Wow, great! Thanks for telling me. I had no idea. I usually watch HK races anyway when I get home from work on Sundays, but I'll definitely be watching tonight!
Yeah, Vosne Romanee won the NZ Stakes. This is the biggest week of racing in Auckland every year - three huge racedays on Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday. Wednesday is Auckland Cup day, with that G1 handicap race and two other listed races - the Sunline Vase and Westbury Classic. And the second Saturday has the G1 NZ Stakes for older horses and the G1 Diamond Stakes for 2yos (which Banchee won last year!), as well as a listed 3yo sprint race. So there's still lots to look forward to here this week! It's great that it doesn't all stop after the Derby.

Solid Billing won the race. It was a great finish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIvOjhOMmKI The G3 Darley Plate was a great race too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyrDDuESpM0 I've decided to follow your example in having a Jimmy avatar. Mine is at about the moment I started jumping up and down in the stands yesterday. Last edited by _ed_ : 03-06-2011 at 08:02 AM.

I love yours... I was looking for that kinda picture!
It took me years to take off my Hendrix tag line and I mean I wanted to keep Rakti as my avatar... you know why... but once Jimmy won it was like how about something really happy instead of being heartsick with every post. I will never forget either and I know you will always remember beautiful Sunline as well but yeah... we honor them in our hearts so it's okay to celebrate the stunning Derby winner and anyone else really.  I cannot imagine being there. Half a world away it took my breath away watching him on the replay. I'd have had a heart attack! Thanks for the Heza Kamakazi (sp?!) news and wow those were fantastic races! Exciting week! I'm glad it didn't all end with the Derby. Can't wait to see who is in what race. What next for Banchee and when is the Oaks? Will Dating be there? Sorry for all the questions! I can find out what horses had a swim in HK in 3 seconds and finding this kind of news takes me ******* forever!

The Oaks is on March 19. King's Rose is the favourite for that - Banchee's second favourite, and I think Dating is fourth favourite behind another filly called Midnight Oil that's looked quite good in her last couple.

Wow that was some finish with Titch and Solid Billing the other day ... they're coming back fast! (I'm sure there are others who ran over the weekend but those two kinda stood out with that finish)! Good luck to Six O'Clock News (I love him and always end up jinxing him, damnit!) and to He's Under the Gun (who might have a chance?). (Oh and to Cassini (good girl) and to Titch cause of that frustrating loss the other day!). Showcause wins like every other race, right? I think Roi de Jeu wins here. Come home safe everyone.
