What a good girl Mime is. That was a tough trip, but she just kept giving.

VALLEY GIRL!

Just amazing.

Oh, Xtravagant. I'm speechless.

WOW! I am finally catching up and FINALLY watched this... I LOVE HER. Kawi looked spectacular as usual and oh Soriano.... I am so sad to have watched her final race (but happy at the same time) but oh wow I am a fan of this filly. Wonderful win! Will continue catching up later but in the meantime I am dreading looking at the angels thread. Any time I see your name there I just feel like the wind has been knocked out of me. Guess I'll go look.

I think my favourite part of the Valley Girl story is that she went to auction as a yearling and didn't get a single bid! So her breeders kept her, and this was their biggest win.

I'm still very confused about the Derby, and it's only two weeks away now!

Valley Girl would have to be my number one at the moment. We'll see if the Avondale Guineas changes my mind.

Oh my God is it really? I can no longer keep track! That's insane.

Brilliant!

Loved your Ali Baba piece and desperately hope he wins. Nice field for Farm Boy and Pondarosa Miss tonight (Jimmy Mac too.. can't forget him!).

... and of course good luck to Tomorrowland , Storming the Tower and to Barbaric as well.

Love the Valley Girl story as well... the stuff of dreams.

Rangipo wins again in the Guineas. He's such a good horse.

But I still doubt he'll run the 2400 metres of the Derby, so I'm more confused than ever.
