Good Lord this 90 minutes has felt like 13 hours so far!

Well gee it's just the beginning of the season so maybe he needs to get going a little.

4th.

Good enough for now but watch out world cause next time...

Right?

Thrilled he ran already though. No fear haha!

Yep, he'll be much better and fitter next time. And the track is really wet there today, which he hates. Not to mention the big weight he had to carry. He shouldn't lose any fans for that effort today.

Geez ed how close or far is Mount Tongariro and is everyone okay?

It's about a 4hr drive away. It sounds like everyone's fine at the moment - no damage, luckily!

Experts are saying the mountain should calm down now. Hope they're right! I have to drive right past it to get to the G1 Spring Classic at Hastings in October.

Nice story.

A small taste of what's to come at Hastings.

Ooh, and the undefeated P.ussy Willow resumes on the undercard! Potentially one of the best 3yos in the country.
