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.

Aaaahhhhh are you kidding me? Can I just move there cause it's like every field is fantastic!

Good luck to most of them, the above listed BUT especially Eagle Mountain (welcome back!), Vosne Romanee (please please please let this horse win one!), and my very special giant, Mr. The Hombre!

Who wins this, ed? If I were playing I'd go with The Hombre or Sadist for absolutely no reason,

Hey again,congrats! I have told everyone I've ever met in my life and they all think I'm mad but are very excited that someones horse won.

Every time I look at the field, I think someone else is gonna win it! I can only narrow it down to five - Eagle Mountain, Veyron, The Hombre, Guiseppina and Lady Kipling. Maybe Veyron, just.

And (King) Mufhasa's the favourite in the G1 Futurity tomorrow over in Australia! Hope he wins.

Haha, thanks! It was a huge thrill. And now they're hoping to run Pinzaara at Ellerslie during Derby week! That would be so amazing - my home track, my favourite track and the best track in NZ. They're aiming for a Rating 65 race on Cup day (March 7). Fingers crossed!

It would be a huge step up for her, so I won't expect her to win, but just seeing her run at Ellerslie on a big day like that would be so awesome.

[my miss storm cat]

Wow, Ellerslie? That is great! Keep us up to date!!!

How do you think our King will do?

I know he likes being at home better but he IS the best horse in the field. Here's hoping!

Wall Street! It's been a while, hasn't it?

Good luck to Mufhasa.
