New Zealand Racing, 2012-13

Oh, I really feel sorry for Jason. He failed to get down to the correct weight for two of Ruud Awakening's stablemates at Trentham last weekend, and the connections were a bit upset about that and wanted a replacement for RA in the Million.

I guess I can kind of understand, since the weight Jason couldn't get down to was the same weight as Ruud Awakening had to carry in this race. But I still feel really sorry for him.

Choice Bro was terrific in the Mile as well and is now heading for the Derby.

Yeah I feel bad for him too and yes... Choice Bro!!!

Weissmuller... pointed to the Derby?

(That is not a hint for your annual preview but I admit I cannot wait!!!!).

Come on March 2nd!

So Weismuller looks like a dominant favourite for that now.

So three of the top four from the Wellington but what of Lucky Country?

(... and where is Abraham Lincoln?).

(I had forgotten both Jimmy and SA had won it!).

Haha, whoa. Interesting about the trainer's history - I didn't know a lot about him.

Lucky Country ran again 7 days after that Wellington Stakes - finishing second again the G3 Desert Gold for the fillies. I think she's staying in the fillies ranks now and possibly targeting the Oaks.

You will of course post a link to any pics of her on the beach, right (I've looked!)?

Hey good luck to you and to Pinzaara on Saturday!!!!!!!

[my miss storm cat]

What a great race by Pinzaara!!!!!

Wow she is a fighter. Didn't seem to be any problem breaking today!

Congrats on the really beautiful 2nd. Nice run by Alvesta. Felt like I was watching a match race for most of it (!).

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!
