New Zealand Racing, 2010-11

[_ed_]

I missed her race yesterday - I was stuck in the university library all day. Same again today, but I'll have a look at a replay when I get home and get back to you.

Tomorrow, Katie Lee has her first race since the Melbourne disaster - back here in Auckland. It's a nice G2 field:

This is what her co-trainer says about her terrible last race:

"You can probably forget she went around in Melbourne," said co-trainer Debbie Rogerson. "They had rain in the morning, she got pole-axed at the start then galloped on. Nothing went to plan, so we brought her home."

It's good to hear valid reasons - I knew she wasn't the 9th best in that race.


There's also this really hot 2yo stakes field. I don't expect you to be familiar with these names, but I suggest you take note of whoever wins it - Lion Tamer won this race last year.
