I haven't watched any replays yet.
Poor Jimmy, and SA. Am I crazy or wasn't Ocean Park running in the Derby? Maybe i skipped over his name... Veyron is a nice horse. 2nd year in a row winning this race, right? (I know this or think it from watching too many Sir Slick replays and he was in that one... or maybe I've lost my mind). Upsala.  I looked at results last night as I was on my way out and that just made me so happy. Now if only Vonusti could win one...

Yeah, Ocean Park was scratched on the morning of the race because of "heat in a leg". It doesn't sound serious - they just took him out of the race as a precaution.
And you're right, it was Veyron's second Easter. No horse has done that since 1960-61. And Veyron's won four G1 races now, with a career record of 13 wins from 21 starts.

Hope she runs well in the Travis. I'm really starting to like this girl. She tries so hard every time.

Quite a few really promising horses in this. I like La Vienne, I think. The Hombre runs on the undercard as well and will be the even-money favourite. And, tomorrow at Dargaville, it's... 1 53343 Uppland 6 65 59.0 Matthew Cameron Kenny & Lisa Rae, Ruakaka 2 4210X Whistling Straits 2 63 58.5 Lisa Allpress Donna & Dean Logan, Ruakaka 3 41782 Lovetohaveit 5 64 57.0 Scratching Bruce Wallace, Takanini 4 05X36 Olivia Ann 4 64 57.0 Michelle Wenn John Morell, Te Rapa 5 46192 Pinzaara 3 64 56.5 Craig Grylls Stephen McKee, Ardmore 6 59241 Shan's Joy 7 63 56.5 Alex Forbes (a2) Jeff McVean & Emma-Lee Browne, Cambridge 7 76X8X Charli Jay 1 58 54.0 Trudy Thornton Dick Stevenson, Waipu 8 8X8X0 Mojave Aster 8 58 54.0 Leith Innes Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie, Maungatautari Uppland is the half-brother to Upsala, so I'd like to see him do well too. Preferably 2nd.

I would be thrilled to have my filly come in 4th. Congrats and remember... next time!
No time for fainting so will check out the other card later. Can't wait to see the Vosne Romanee field and who The Hombre will be beating. Again, cheers ed. That is fantastic.

Oh, yeah, sorry, should have mentioned it was at Riccarton! Eagle Mountain is the favourite there after his big run last time. He'll be hard to beat.
I like La Vienne and Jeu de Cartes (half-sister to Nom du Jeu) in the Hawke's Bay Cup.

I like Lady Kipling but it's been a while, hasn't it? Villifye seems like a little win machine.

Villifye's been amazing this season. She's won four of her nine starts in 2011/12, and placed three times. Incredible consistency.
It has been a while since Lady Kipling won a good race - December was the last one. But since then she's been 4th behind Shez Sinsational in a G1, second behind Veyron in a G1, sixth behind Scarlett Lady in a G1 and fourth behind Say No More in a G1! So she's not running badly. I think she's right in this. I like her and Postman's Daughter. Floria never runs a bad race either.

Yeah I wondered what was going on with Jimmy poor guy.
Why was Mufhasa scratched? He's okay right? Nice news about the others though.

This thread's gonna go a bit quiet for a while. I'm off overseas for six weeks!
I'm going sightseeing in San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Berlin and others, and I'm going to see some reasonably famous horse races in Louisville on May 5 and Epsom Downs on June 2. So excited! But sorry for the lack of NZ updates between now and June 10.

First win in more than two years.
Had nothing when JR asked him for his usual sprint.
