Awww, any idea why Mufhasa was scratched?

Hope he's okay.

I haven't heard anything, but I guess it's a combination of the outside gate, big weight, etc.

I think they must have decided not to run a little while ago, because Sam is riding in NZ today.

Thanks ed and yeah here's hoping.

On a happier note I'm so glad i decided to play Wealth Princess across.

What a beautiful run.

Aaaaaalmost.

She's terrific. I love her acceleration. Happy with Culminate's 4th as well.

And NZ came 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th in the Classic Mile with Pennachio, Firebolt, La Etoile and Time Keeper (his best run for a while!)

Thrilled for Time Keeper.

I used Firebolt in the top spot... had the right horses, wrong order. It's all good though.

Early entries for the 3 big spring races at Hastings...

So many great names! Katie, Mufhasa, Vosne Romanee, Keep The Peace, Pennachio, Firebolt, My (Miss) Keepsake, Monaco Consul...

I think Katie will be so, so hard to beat in the first two of those races. Her stamina is a little bit doubtful, though, so the Spring Classic could be Vosne Romanee or Keep The Peace.

Oh, and no Sir Slick in any of them. Could it be...? *fingers crossed*

Wow that's some list but damn i wish it were sooner!
