New Zealand Racing, 2011-12

Wow, some surprises on the big day at Te Rapa today.

So close, but so far for Mufhasa. Everything went wrong for him today. He had a terrible trip. But he fought so hard down the stretch anyway! Congrats to the terrific Veyron.

Shez Sinsational won the International very nicely from Harvey and a fast-finishing Rock 'n' Pop - excellent Derby prep from him.

Zurella was strong in the fillies' race. She might be going to the Derby too - looks like a big group of girls taking on the colts and geldings in the big one this year.

Awww poor Mufhasa.

Haven't looked at results or watched any replays yet so thanks for the news.

Good for Ms. Sinsational though.

It's definitely worth watching. The Sprint was a great race. Mufhasa got as much applause for his effort as the winner.

Pinzaara's not running this week after all. Stephen McKee said she's not quite race-fit.
