Zagazig (half-sister to Egyptian Ra) came 3rd in her debut today. Nice effort, might be better over a bit more distance.

A bit of a quiet day on Saturday, most of the top horses are waiting for Boxing Day.

Couple of G3s down at Awapuni though, and the 2000 Guineas-placed Il Quello Veloce is in the second of those. Should win too.

Awww well that's nice anyway.

Will watch replays later but thanks ed!

Not a good day for Fully Fledged? Oh well...

He was 2nd in the Newmarket, really good effort actually. He was in an early speed duel, and the winner had a perfect trip just in behind them. The time was just over 1:08, not far off the track record.
