Although this thread is mostly about celebrating NZ's great racing, I guess I have to mention the bad as well as the good.

Absolutely disgusting. I hope they catch whoever did this.

I'm speechless. Absolutely horrific. I hope they hire round the clock guards and catch this sick ****.

Beyond words.

On a brighter note, Pinzaara's running tomorrow!

1 80X69 Call Me Capo 3 45 58.5 Matthew Cameron Donna & Dean Logan, Ruakaka
2 4 Sound Barrier 5 50 58.0 Michael McNab (a2) Shaune Ritchie, Cambridge
3 Cartell 6 47 58.0 Alysha Collett (a1) Richard Collett, Pukekohe Park
4 39623 La Pinnicle 4 54 56.5 Rory Hutchings (a2) Peter Lock, Te Rapa
5 4005X Sunsett 7 49 56.5 Danielle Johnson Stephen McKee, Ardmore
6 5 Miss Quasar 9 47 56.5 Tasha Collett Natalie Tanner, Avondale
7 59226 One Hipp Chick 10 53 56.0 Maija Vance (a1) Shaune Ritchie, Cambridge
8 255 Quin Bay 2 52 56.0 Leith Innes Stephen McKee, Ardmore
9 8X54 Fortunate 8 50 56.0 Stephen McKee, Ardmore
10 77646 Pinzaara 1 49 56.0 Sam Spratt Stephen McKee, Ardmore


Sam Spratt had the choice of all the McKee horses in the field, and she chose our girl!

I won't be able to make it to the track, sadly, because I'll be at work. But I'll make sure I find a TV!

If Pinzaara doesn't win, I hope Sunsett does - she's Sunline's last baby.

I loved that mare! I had no idea this was her baby. Is she a good filly?

Not so far, sadly - 9 starts for no wins. She has shown glimpses of potential, but nothing like her mother's ability.

Sunline's only other foals to race have been a bit better. Sunstrike won two of her 19, and Sun Ruler had 13 starts for two wins. And, unforgettably, they fought out the finish of a race once: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFMPOtHVgWo

What a shame.. Not that uncommon though I guess.

The Matamata Breeders' Stakes, a G2 2yo fillies race won by Anabandana and Banchee in the last two years, was won quite nicely today by a Holy Roman Emperor filly called Rollout The Carpet. She looked pretty good.

The big Otaki G1 is only 10 mins away now.

But Mufhasa's performance in Melbourne is the highlight of the day so far!

Hahahaha I had to wait for this to leave and well worth it even though I didn't bet acent (it would have jinxed him).

MUFHASA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dying here ed I'm so happy!

Have fun the rest of the night and I hope all your picks win.

I put in my plays and will check back later cause nothing matters as much as this (although I do hope I do okay ).

Thrilled too!!!

It was amazing. Nine G1s for Mufhasa now.

Veyron wins again at Otaki! His third G1. Lady Kipling second, Guiseppina third. Eagle Mountain was about 6th or 7th. He was solid, but just couldn't sprint with the others this time. I'd like to see him over more distance.
