Yeah I loved that Ruud Awakening-Touche race. Definitely two horses to watch in the Karaka Million on the 27th!
Pinzaara was a naughty girl today - she got herself a bit sweaty before the race, then wasn't paying attention in the gates, so was slow away. But I really liked the way she finished it off down the stretch. Yeah, next time.  I was a bit worried when I saw Barbaric finish way back. Seems to be OK - apparently lost a shoe during the race, and that foot got a bit sore afterwards. But nothing serious.

Thanks for the update. Your girl did finish well.
Hey if there were a contest for who spent the most time looking for news on the Trentham Stakes I think I'd win.   I know it's next weekend, only wish I knew who were going!

I see Titch is entered on Wednesday at Hokitika and am wondering why I've never heard of it (!).
Good luck, old boy. edit - Did he win the Auckland Cup twice? Last edited by my miss storm cat : 01-13-2013 at 02:54 PM.

He did win an Auckland Cup, yeah! And he's also won several steeplechases. The trainer likes to do strange things with his good horses - it was the same with C'est La Guerre, who he took to two really minor country race meetings on the way to his Derby win in 2008.
Hokitika's another really small country meeting. Strange place for a G1 winner to be running!

Wow that is some field for the Telegraph!
Who is the favorite? Has Guiseppina won since she won it last year? Honestly I would never be able to play this race... mind-numbing looking at the entries.

I know the Karaka Mile is the same day... any idea who will be there? Not rushing you but cannot wait for your pre-Derby posts!

Well that's a shame...
http://www.racingandsports.com.au/ra...asp?NID=269524 Picks for the Wellington Cup or the Thorndon Mile? I wondered what had hapened to Guillotine (SO pretty ) so nice to see one of his kids out there (Grey Hero).No pick for the Million or the Mile but it will be nice to see Ruud Awakening and Touche face off again! Picks, ed? Good luck to Ripping, Huffer and Annie (and every horse in the Thorndon Mile) @Trentham. You are SO lucky to be going to Ellersile this weekend!!!
