Haven't watched the replay yet but whoa Herkie did read results and very nice!

No good for poor old Sir Slick. But a really good race.

Aaah well (very) nice for the winner. Thanks for the replay!

Good old Sir Slick. Great to see him anyway although I do of course wish... well, you know.

Any recollection of Our Nautique? He won the All American at Golden Gate yesterday...

I do remember him - I was at the track for his maiden win. Thanks for letting me know! Great that he's doing well.

Here's his NZ/Aus career:

Eagle Mountain back in training in your part of the world.

A bit on Mufhasa too.

Any idea who he's up against?

I think and hope you're right.

You go, Mufhasa!

How long hs it been since Vosne Romanee won (... and why did I think Banchee was retiring)?!
