Definitely! Really nice idea.

So good to see Military Move win a G3 today.

Just watched the replay... that was awesome!!!!!

Will we get the field for the Newmarket tomorrow? Hope so!!!

Field is out now! Wide gate for Pinzaara. And tough field - not only Mr Hombre, but the scarily good Albany Reunion too. Gulp! Fingers crossed.

Pinzaara's trainer, Stephen McKee, sent us these photos of his kids playing with her.

Also, amazing fields for the other stakes races on Boxing Day!

The fabulous 1000 Guineas winner, Costa Viva, returns in the Eight Carat Classic - against two other last-start stakes winners, and the undefeated Procurement.

Chambord v Lucia Valentina and a few other seriously good 3yos in the Guineas.

Shuka, Historian, Lady Kipling, Survived, Viadana, Zurella...

Can't wait!

Whoa I just took a peek at the fields and ed... what is that even like having her in the same race as so many big names????!!! SO exciting! Man I hope she wins!

Huffer and The Hombre and Alvesta and The Filly... wow impressive field!

Lovely pictures and very cool seeing the kids of a trainer I read about all the time. Pinzaara looks great! Very glad you posted these.Merry Christmas and the very best of luck.

Go, Pinzaara!!!!!!!!

Well, the official result will say Pinzaara finished only 9th, but she ran so great! Less than 2.5 lengths from the winner of such a great race. Very, very proud of her.

Great to see Historian win another big one! And Hera and Puccini (half-brother to Sir Slick) both really surprised me with their impressive wins. Brilliant day. The forecast rain stayed away, we had the biggest Boxing Day crowd I've seen at Ellerslie for a few years, and it was just awesome.

The only bad moment was Lucia Valentina's fall in the Guineas, but I can say she is completely fine and Leith just has a sprained wrist.

Haven't yet watched any replays but you must be very proud of her!

WOW! I just watched all the replays and whoa ed she was really good! Monster field... I am thrilled for you and for her. Showed she belongs with that crowd!

Beautiful wins by Historian et al (didn't know that about Puccini!) and not quite on the same level, I know, but ummmmm that was really nice seeing Lucky Feather get a win today.
