Stunning wins by Kawi, Capella, Xtravagant, Gasoline, Seventh Up and others. But the two spills (luckily horses and riders all okay!) and the Newmarket DQ really marred the day for me and took away some of the joy.

I hope New Year's Day will be perfect.

Have only watched Kawi so far and wow... and what a ride by Leith!

Oh Soriano.... such a wonderful horse. Good Lord Authentic Paddy has such heart.

That win though... that was really spectacular.

Will watch the rest on and off throughout the day. Not looking forward to the spills but extremely happy to know all are safe.

Good luck to Black Mascara and to Sultry Assassin in their respective races today!

(... and, of course, to El Chico @Phar Lap).

edit - Ed here... incase you haven't seen it. Habibi was 4th.

Thanks for that - I completely missed that race.

Much quieter day at Ellerslie today but the racing has been so good! Black Mascara, O'Rachael (so brave), He's An Ace and Duchess Kate.

I am amazed Trudy got Black Mascara past Cartell! Even knowing the outcome... at the last possible second it looked impossible. Nice win!

The noms for New Year's Day at Ellerslie just made my heart skip a beat. Amazing.

Odds for Friday: http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...rslie-features

I probably agree with most of the favourites, but there are some surprisingly big odds too!
