Really nice fields especially for the Mile!

Good luck to all the usual suspects.

I love this!

Warhorse looked really good in the one race of his I saw...

In the MIle I only know one name. Embarrassing!

Whatever happened to ***** O'Reilly?

[_ed_]

She ran in a G3 for 3yo fillies at Trentham just now, actually! But she didn't really feature.

Quintessential won it impressively, beating Capital Diamond and Artistic.

[my miss storm cat]

Oh wow too funny!

I don't know what made me think of her but it is pretty funny how we can't post her name.

Good luck, ed! When you have a sec let us know who the favorite is for the Thorndon Mile. I'm sure all my picks are at very long odds but not like I can play them!

I would love to see Banchee win this and I am quite sure you would too.(I won't list the other 8 I'm cheering for).

[_ed_]

It is funny. And a new 2yo filly who looks something special is the same - ***** Willow!

Yeah, definitely cheering for Banchee! The Thorndon's only 15 mins away now!

Odds:

Booming 18
Justanexcuse 22
Vonusti 27
Platinum Princess 18
Postman's Daughter 28
Final Touch 18
Shez Sinsational 4.30f
November Rain 9.60
Joku 44
Dating 19
Sadist 12
All In Tempo 44
Smoulder 18
Banchee 9
Say No More 8
New Moon 59
Jetset Lad 20
Pinot Express 55

Great field.
