Wow, that's super nice!

I'll go with More Than Sacred. Have to respect the favourite, High Fashion, too.

Haha, whoa! Should have put them in an exacta!

Thrilled for MTS. A maiden til Jan 23; now an Oaks winner! And she's so tough.

Read your post before i watched the replay and thought oh well... he has to mean he shoulda put MTS and High Fashion in an exacta.

Thrilled to see it was Blanket Bay who was 2nd!!!!!!

MTS wow yes tough tough girl, what a great race that was...

Nice run by... I think it was Emerald Queen flying at the end.

Cheers to the new it girl, More Than Sacred!

(Oh and very happy to see Brave Centaur continue his winning streak! Have not yet watched the race but had to check results for that one just now and will catch up on replays later).

My special good luck list for Saturday @Tauranga...

Shuka (!)
Half the field in the Japan Trophy
The Hombre (He can actually win this one) (I think!)(and Alvesta) in the sprint
Yin Yang Master


Platinum Princess @Riccarton (or is it proper to say at Canterbury? Well no matter, good luck to her)!

It's not every day he gets a mention.

The Hombre Brisbane bound

22 March 2013, 8:25 a.m.


The Hombre will be racing for travelling expenses to Brisbane when he fronts up at Tauranga on Saturday.

Trainer John Bary has plans for a return to familiar territory with his Group One performer who more than paid his way in Brisbane as a three-year-old.

The Hombre won the Rough Habit Plate and finished runner-up in the Grand Prix Stakes, but has since been successfully reverted to a sprinting career.

He has been particularly effective right-handed and won the Listed Hallmark Stud Newmarket Handicap on Boxing Day at Ellerslie where he has also placed in the Gr.1 Railway Stakes and the Gr.3 Darley Plate.

Stablemate Survived, who trounced his midweek opposition at Arawa Park earlier this week, is also on Bary’s short list for Brisbane. He will make his next appearance in Saturday week’s Gr.3 Higgins Manawatu Classic.

Yeah, good to see! Thanks for posting that.

Whoa - Our Famous Eve! I quite liked her as a 3yo, but she had done nothing at all this season as a 4yo... until yesterday! Amazing turnaround.

[my miss storm cat]

She was really good!

Have missed you, ed.

The Hombre was 4th, Platinum Princess 2nd, Yin Yang Master last poor guy and Shuka... break my heart and add yet another 2nd place finish (didn't he have like 5 in a row at one point?) to the record.
