New Zealand Racing, 2014-15

[my miss storm cat]

Awesome about the World Cup and, for the record, if an award were given for the most attempts to actually watch the Darley Plate which is now up (well the video is apparently up although it will not actually play)... I'd win!

Man I really want to see it! I think I will finally have recovered from that race where he fell and whoa it's been a couple of years now (I think).

Cannot wait. SO happy for him and for his people.

There have been some great ones - Xcellent coming from last to win in 2004, Jimmy Choux fighting back so courageously in 2011, Silent Achiever's amazing dominance in 2012, Puccini's crazy move in the middle of the race last year.

But I don't know if I've ever seen such an amazing battle between two horses in a Derby before. It was just unbelievable, and it lasted for the whole stretch.

I was trying to decide if it's the greatest NZ Derby I have seen but then started remembering others from the past few years and just wanted your opinion.

I think, for the rest of my life, when I see that replay I will get chills!

Some very nice fields on Wednesday!!!
