Those are really nice fields and not to sound too stupid but where is the Matron Cup?

Good luck to Sir Slick (... and Six O'Clock News, Bruce Almighty, Banchee and November Rain of course).

Who is the favorite in each and how has Bruce done lately?

It would be fantastic to see Banchee win one again.

As far as the other? As long as Sir Slick comes home safe I'm good.

I hope you're going!

I'll be at Ellerslie, as always.

The Marton Cup's at Awapuni, which is down south in Palmerston North. They have one of the main 2yo races, the G1 Sires' Produce Stakes, there in April.

Bruce has had quite a bad season, but he ran his best race in a long time at his last start - 2nd. Hopefully he can go well again here.

Crocodile Canyon and Exquisite Choice are the favourites there at 5-1. Sir Slick is 13-1 and Bruce is 20-1.

Banchee's the favourite in the other race. But it's only 1100m, which I'm worried might be a bit short for her. Gaston might be hard to beat.

Thanks and have a great time.

Oh forgot to mention Hoofit is at 15/1 on the morning line.

It's a nice field... hope he does really well!

Do you have any idea how many times I've refeshed results?!
