I am SO glad I boxed this! The tri paid $524.and then I had Snow Dragon across the board (stupidly only for 2 dollah) so that was another $51.

PPs, Shuka Sho (Saturday night)...

(Interesting that the 2nd favorite wins 60 percent of the time. Just throwing that out there).

Never did get around to posting Snow Dragon winning the Sprinters Stakes (at 46/1)...

Swear to God I will laugh out loud with joy every time I hear the name Snow Dragon for the rest of my life.

Morning line for the Shuka Sho tonight...

I was thinking maybe Nuovo Record but after seeing the morning line... well I can't exactly go with a horse who has NO odds...

I think Blanc Neige, Reve D'Etoiles and Bounce Shasse will be the favorites come post time. Omega Heart Rock is 2 for 2 BUT she is coming back from a fracture... hope she does well but I think this might be a bit tough. Sang Real will probably take some cash cause of who her sister is (Buena Vista) but I'm not seeing her hit the board.

There is something about the unlikely Tagano Etoile that I do like so I think I might take a chance with her for the win, stick Nuovo Record in the 2nd spot and then use Shonan Pandora, Red Reveur or Reve D'Etoiles underneath.

I am not putting a lot of thought into this... nice group of girls and I hope we see one or two future stars here.

You playing, Sunday Star?

Good luck tonight to those who are playing and come home safe, kids.

... but of course I didn't box them... it paid 633.75 for a dollah. Shonan Pandora beat Nuovo Record and Tagano Etoile was 3rd.

looking forward to a great race

Are you playing the QEII Cup tonight, SS? Tough race!

Have been looking at pp's, comments by connections etc., and was thinking I might include Grace Flower who I'd imagine will be a pretty big longshot.

Having a hard time narrowing it down what with Remain Silent, Smart Layer, Shonan Pandora and Nuovo Record. Trying to figure out what to do with Blanc Neige.

Tough choice leaving out girls like Meisho Mambo and Verxina but I've already drawn a line through both.

Will do a saver on my favorite horse in the race, Whale Capture. If I were smart I'd leave it at that and just enjoy the race but I'm not, so...

Please feel free to share any thoughts. You too, Coachie!

Might as well add this here.... Ed Dunlop tweeted that Snow Pixie will soon be arriving at his stables. If she's anything like her sister...
