El Roca was so unlucky in the Caulfield Guineas. But, on the plus side, he's coming back to NZ for a shot at redemption in the 2000 Guineas next month! Can't wait.

Hoofit lost his life today due to a leg infection. He survived an earthquake, hurricane & shipping across the world but this was too much.

Just such a nice horse who seemed to love racing and tried so hard every time.

Lovely picture.

I thought of you every time I saw he was entered.

On a happier note (and I don't want to seem disrespectful by so flippantly changing the subject but) gotta say this... it's a very nice field for the Lion Red Plate.

Guns at Five!!!

Wow that was really nice to see! I am still scratching my head (but in a good way)!

That finish in the Lion Red Plate would have given me a heart attack if I had been there. VERY nice runs from the top 4!

Yeah, both were great races! And a nice win on the undercard by Cosmic Cube, who's on track for the 2000 Guineas.

Archie has been given the racing name Brochaine - 'broche' is French for pin (his sire is Pins) and 'plaine' is French for lowland, which is his dam's name.

Cosmic Cube set for a clash with Bounding and Spellbinder (and probably others - Allez Eagle?) in what should be an AMAZING Sarten Memorial next weekend: http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...Memorial-rival

Nice article about Percy, who's running in the Wellington Guineas this Saturday. http://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/10642...ith-Percy.aspx

Against a tough field - Lord Turbo, Sakhee's Soldier, Touche and King's Rock - but I really hope he does well.

Sarten field.



Stunning. Can't wait.

Also makes me even more excited about my annual trips down to Christchurch for the two Guineas races! Been going since 2008. The winners so far: Daffodil, Tell A Tale, Katie Lee (x2 - only horse ever to win both), Jimmy Choux, King's Rose, Rock 'N' Pop, Planet Rock, Sacred Falls and Rollout The Carpet.

How do you even make a pick with a field like that?

Incredible. Can't wait! Should be heart-stopping.

Hey speaking of which (not really but... ) any news on The Hombre? I never see his name but as far as I know he wasn't retired...

I have not looked at any results or replays yet.

My first stop was to look at The Informant and I was stunned and delighted to see this...

Fantastic Honour ran in the Wellington Guineas at Trentham on Saturday. She struggled in the wet track and was never really a factor.

Shuka was so great! I hadn't really planned to go to Ellerslie on Saturday, but decided to go when the weather was so beautiful. And then I got to see Shuka do that! Wonderful win under a massive weight.

About to drive down to Hamilton for Sarten day now. Can't wait!

No not yet!!!

I cannot figure who the favorite is in the Sarten S.

Good luck!
