New Zealand Racing, 2012-13

[_ed_]

Yeah, it was brilliant. It was a really long day, with trophies being handed out after almost ever race, but it went by so fast!

The weather was much better than Boxing Day too! Much more like what we expect in Auckland this time of year.

I haven't heard anything about him for ages! This is the last time I saw him mentioned in an article, back in August 2011:

Millionaire gallopers Rough Habit, Christopher Vance and Xcellent are all resident at Cambridge Thoroughbred Lodge, which is set on a 40-hectare farm in a picturesque, rural setting on the Rotorua Thermal Highway on SH1, approximately 25 minutes' drive from Hamilton.

I'd love to go there and see him some time. It's only about a 2-hour drive from Auckland, so there's no excuse not to!
