Sad to see the field for the Railway without Wasted Emotions. Poor guy.

Good luck to Katie (who needs no luck !!!), to her sister of course, to our good Sir Slick (wonder how The Pooka will do in that one), Mufhasa just because and Red Ruler (who I think wins) and Spin Around (who I like) in the City of Auckland which is a really nice field!

Good for her!

Do you happen to remember a horse named Van Persie? Just curious ed... he's Soviet Pearl now and runs in HK tonight.

He looked pretty nice in September and October (2 good Class 3 wins back to back) but then lost 3 in a row (was 5th twice, 6th once).

Anyway just wondering. Nice horse... I think he'll get better and better.

[_ed_]

Yeah, good to see Bound To Impress win one! Her mother would be proud.

I don't remember Van Persie. I looked him up, and he raced down south, so I never saw him run. He had 3 starts in NZ for a win, a 2nd and a 3rd. He ran against some good horses in that time, like G2-placed Late Addition.
