GAULTIER gelding, Rios-Playacting Trainer: Danica Guy (no Derby wins) Jockey: Michael Coleman (Cut The Cake 2003, Xcellent 2004) 7 starts 1 win 0 seconds 1 third NZ$142,725 1st Gr. 1 Levin Classic 11th Gr. 2 Waikato Guineas 8th Gr. 2 Avondale Guineas Depending on whether Platinum Witness runs in the Derby or the Oaks, Gaultier could be the only G1 winner going into this year's Derby. And his Levin Classic victory was amazing, flying down the outside from last to first. But he's been really disappointing since then. The Waikato and Avondale Guineas were both quite slowly run races, which doesn't suit his style, but I still expected him to do more in the stretch in both races. I don't know about his Derby chances. But Michael Coleman had the choice between Gaultier and Sound Proposition, and the fact that he's chosen Gaultier has to count for something. Current odds: 30 My ranking: Not currently in the top 10.

My top 5 in no order...
Giant Turtle Sound Proposition Kolonel Kev Mongolian Khan Volkstok'n'barrell Would replace the good Kolonel with Platinum Witness IF she goes to the Derby (?).

Yeah, I'll definitely miss her.
Great racing so far at Matamata! Dramatist and Rocanto were outstanding. And New Zealand is 3 for 3 at the World Cup.  But it's fair to say England played an incredibly bad game.
