The NZ Stakes was a hard article to write - so much to cover!

Really well done. You detailed everything with respect and compassion yet still wrote about the race...

For me a good race caller is one where I could close my eyes and see the race... it's complete, you know? So your piece was like that. One could not know anything about what had happened but read it and know the entire story.

Well done!

Have not yet watched any replays but pretty surprised that Marky Mark was off the board!

Happy to read the update on The Justice League this am!

Whoa, the noms for the Oaks look fantastic! Cannot wait!

I was looking at the fields for tomorrow (...Hawera?) and there is only one name I know (Steel Rose). I honestly don't remember ever seeing this name!

They don't race there very often, that's for sure. They only have one stakes race every year, which is in October.

I was a bit disappointed that Marky Mark was only fourth, but he actually ran a pretty good race and wasn't far away from them at the line. I think it was a bit better than it looks and he'll be a big chance in the Sires' Produce on March 28.

I'm not working on Saturday but I still can't wait! The Oaks and the Guineas should be fantastic races.

This is cool - good to see them having a bit of a break from the amazing job they're doing on the field. http://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/15544...kato-Stud.aspx

That IS cool!

Happy Oaks Day!

I have been thinking Platinum Witness all along and know she will be the heavy favorite but I'm finding myself rooting for Thee Auld Floozie now. Was thinking of using both along with Charmont but instead I think I will pass altogether and just watch.

Good luck to YOU and come home safe, good girls!

What a great finish that was in the Oaks!!!

Happy that Vespa and Spellbinder both won their respective races as well.
