That's a hard one to pick! I would maybe lean towards Aerovelocity, but there is a little bit of bias involved there with him trained by the NZer Paul O'Sullivan.

It's a shame Able Friend didn't fire at Ascot. A top-three finish from him there would have sealed HOY for him for sure.

Oh yeah I like him so much... always makes me think of the 2006 season (I think - might have been 05) when he had Medic Power and Ever Bright and they were both winning 5... 6 in a row.

(He also had Vital King... huge fan of his).

I'll be happy for whoever gets it but I do kinda think AF is slightly more deserving.

Good luck to Kidnapped at Ruakaka on Saturday. I think Smedley wins but how amazing would that be seeing the old guy win one?

Just watched the replay again and whoa... he really looks like he might be something special.

Any idea where he goes next?

I asked Donna Logan that yesterday and she said she hadn't really thought about it yet. She still seemed kind of stunned!
