That is awesome! Hope they win.

Ed, Habibi runs today at SA...

Here's hoping.

... and, even with the increase, this remains the greatest bargain in racing!

Absolutely - I was predicting 20+.

Also, we won the semi-final!

Great news! Hope your team takes it all!!

Hey ed can I ask something stupid?

I was looking at the, at what I guess is the next race at Wanganui (R2) and four of the runners have black horse heads by their names... what does that mean?

Oh and any news on Giant Turtle would be greatly appreciated as I have not heard a thing since the Derby. Thought I should mention that incase you happen to hear...

Thanks.

That logo indicates horses that are eligible for the Pearl series, which is a bonus for fillies and mares that are enrolled in the series.

I haven't heard anything about Giant Turtle either! I'll try to see if I can find something.

Thank you on both accounts.

Sad to read about Rising Romance missing the BMW.

Some nice fields on Saturday but of course the one I'm looking the most forward to is the Awapuni Gold Cup. Wouldn't that be something if The Tidy Express won? Rooting for Nashwville, Iamishwara and Survived (and TTE) but I doubt any of the four win.

Not betting... will just wait patiently for results while I cap Dubai.

Iamishwara has really surprised me in his last two runs and could do it if he runs as well again in this. But I do think Farm Boy is the likeliest winner.

Everyone here in NZ is still buzzing about us winning that semi-final. I was so lucky to be there at the game! And I love that this very cool moment is being celebrated: https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs...130630660.html
