Read about the old man, King Montrose... nice win at Riccarton.

Too bad Habibi didn't win this time around...

Thoughts?

Yeah, disappointing. She just doesn't have the same acceleration that she had in NZ. I'm not sure why.

But, yep, still some good racing to look forward to in NZ! The G2 Travis Stakes and G3 Cambridge Breeders' Stakes next weekend, and both of those are usually really exciting races.

Watched last years' and had forgotten how nicely poor Simbaah had done (and that Lauren Tate had won).

Poor Habibi. I don't get it either.

(Feel better, Opie!)

Noms for the Travis Stakes are really good!

Shall we just call Tavy the winner now for the Breeders?

Oh wow that third race looks like a lot of fun!

Will there be anything special for ANZAC day? Seeing as it's the centennial I would imagine so.

Would be amazing to see Pump Up the Volume win at Wanganui on Thursday!

Still nothing on Giant Turtle?

I liked Passing Shot in the Breeders' Stakes until I saw he got such a wide gate! I definitely think the Roger James pair of Tavy and Shees Flawless are good chances.

There isn't much on Anzac Day, surprisingly. There's a minor stakes race at Awapuni, but that's about it.

No, I haven't heard anything about Giant Turtle at all, sorry! I will keep a look out. If I have a spare moment in the next few days I might try calling someone in the stable.

How nice of you and thanks in advance in the event you get to it (I know how busy you must be!).

Where is Celebrity Miss in terms of odds?

Kinda stuck between hoping Lauren Tate repeats and Abidewithme shocks (or even Flying Orca.. been a long time since she won one!). Carlotta won so nicely last out... yeah would like to see one of the more unexpected types who needs a win steal this!
