New Zealand Racing, 2012-13

Oh that is awesome!!! So happy to hear it.

Bruce winning the Waikato Times Gold Cup at about a million to 1 (30/1?), just because. Hope he enjoys his new career!



Read about Cauthen on the Informant and just watched his win at Te Rapa.... very nice!

[_ed_]

Yeah, excellent win. He's heading to Melbourne for the Caulfield Guineas, I think.

For absolutely no reason I was thinking of Coniston Bluebird last night... whatever happened to him?

[_ed_]

Ah, one of the weirdest Derby winners ever! His career after the Derby reads 17:0-0-0. He hasn't raced since 3 Dec 2011, so I guess he's been retired now.

Oh my God I had no idea he didn't win again!

Yeah I remember how really surprised, to use a nice word , you were after that one!

[_ed_]

Haha, definitely. Of the 17 Derby winners I can remember seeing, I'd rate him... 17th best.

Look who's back this weekend! http://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/8933/...t-Ruakaka.aspx

I was thinking about going. That news made the decision a whole lot easier.

Oh! I don't know I was so surprised to see his name but I was!

Wish I were going!
