Derby Day on Saturday! And the undercard isn't too bad either:

G3 Darley Plate - https://www.ebetonline.co.nz/forms/2..._M2_R7_Ext.pdf

And then there are some of the major Auckland Cup contenders in the Nathans Memorial Handicap, and a 2yo race with Fully Fledged (who would have won a G2 last start if he didn't try to jump the rail...hope he behaves better this time).

As I mentioned in the Derby thread, C'est La Guerre is the Derby winner for 2008. Prince Kaapstad was second and Fritzy Boy third. Nom du Jeu was 4th.

The other major race of the day, the G3 Darley Plate, was won by Martini Red.

It was Auckland Cup day today, on a disappointing wet track (it was a beautiful sunny day...think they have some drainage issues) and the race had some ridiculously slow sectionals.

But still, Prize Lady won it for the 2nd year in a row, and that's not easy.
