I have Saturday off this week, but I'll still be watching all the Trentham races closely.

I'm on duty for the Karaka Million day on Sunday. Exciting field for that, and I can't wait to see VSB again in the Mile.

Lucky you being at Ellerslie on Sunday!

Very nice field for the Stayers Cup. I'm a sucker for races like these. I'm rooting for Stratocaster in the MIle BUT not sure if he can beat VSB, Tavy et al.

Whoa the Karaka Million! Good Lord that is a GREAT field!

On a smaller note, I was watching some of Graphic's replays and I really do think he'll win the Wellington Cup again. (That was such a great one last year, wasn't it? Skysoblue hanging on after leading the whole way and a NICE run from good old Yin Yang Master with MdP up no less... names like Guns at Five and Annie Higgins... what a nice field that was.) Anyway yeah I do think he'll pull one out of nowhere and remember how to win. IF he doesn't am rooting for Ransomed although it would be nice for Templeten or Our Bee Jay since neither wins much and both were in it last year.

edit - A really fun replay is Templetens first win (Nov. 13, 11) where he absolutely flies past Zonza! I think the race caller was really surprised.
