Taupo's right in the middle of the North Island - a beautiful little tourist town on the edge of a big volcanic lake.
 It's a small town and minor racetrack, but because of the volcanic soil it has amazing drainage, so good horses have raced there over the last few springs - Keep The Peace, Military Move, He's Remarkable, and now Recite and Bounding! This should be a great race. I can't wait! There are some other interesting 3yos running there today too - Dunoon is rated pretty highly by Roger James, and El Roca has apparently looked good in trials. Te Awamutu's another small town - not far from Hamilton (where the racetrack is Te Rapa). Must admit I've never actually been to Te Awamutu.

We're about 20 minutes away now from Recite v Bounding round two!
Here's what happened in round one. http://www.nzracing.co.nz/RaceInfo/4...ce-Detail.aspx In my opinion, one of the best races of the whole 2012-13 season.

Ed did you see the race with the triple dead heat for 3rd? That was awesome!
