Mufhasa is another one - he's called King Mufhasa in Australia.

So I was looking for Sir Slick news and found this instead...

Jesus that's some field!

Why did i think Tracy was going in the race with More Joyous?

Too many good ones to try to keep track of!

She's entered in both. Which one will she run in? It is a mystery!

That's a really tough punishment. I hope he comes back after that long break hungrier for success and better than before. We need him!

I think you'll like some of these results from today...

"SIR SLICK MAY HAVE THEM IN TROUBLE HERE....."

Oh my God ed I am ******* dying here!

Saw your post, didn't know they were entered, didn't go and look at results so i could be surprised.

Sorry Banchee didn't do it but she has so many great wins and was absolutely thrilled to see our boy with the silly name do it!

Clicked on the other race and I'm thinking okay yea He is entered but who else is here and maybe RR will win and He will be 2nd and aaaahhhhhhhh..... I'm laughing and crying at the same time. That was brilliant! One of my favorites of all time now and all the concern between the two of us.... age, injuries, form and look what he does?

I am over the moon and so happy to be proven wrong.

He is amazing and you all are lucky to have a national treasure like him.

Right when he crosses the finish.... what is the announcer saying?

I've probably woken half the neighborhood blasting it trying to figure it out!

Thank you for the fantastic way to start the day my friend.
