Re the fields for today,in the race your girl woulda been in, interesting to see Packing Tycoon there. Not sure how I missed his name before and had to do a double take.

He was the AOB-trained Alexander Pope who, when he went to hk, couldn't win one. He hardly placed. I don't think he was very happy there!

Be interesting to see how he does now although my initial reaction is he's in waaaay over his head.

Man that just sucked finding out about Time Keeper last night. Once in a while you feel like your heart has been ripped out... you know?

He should have had a nice long, lazy retirement.

I know. So sad. He was a lovely horse.

Thanks for the Packing Tycoon info! It'll be interesting to see how he goes.

Have not seen any replays but just glanced at results and so much for being in over his head.

Haha, amazing! The change of scenery must have helped. He ran a great race.

Fix just isn't herself at the moment.

As for the Guineas, GREAT win. Reminded me of his older brother Sir Slick, the way he overcame a terrible trip and just refused to let anyone get by him in the stretch. Brilliant. I'll have to look at the replays, but watching it live it looked like the other good performances were We'regoingtogetcha and Glorious Lad. Not sure what happened to Chambord.

Well I'd prefer NZ to HK too!!!

The only replay I've watched so far was Puccini (and I watched it a few times).

So happy for him and for his connections. Nice nice win. Loved the way the MW looked back at one point.

Around 1:48 I thought I was going to have a heart attack with a few of them all bunched up... rough riding!

Had not heard of Colonel Cararrea but nice run and yeah agree on Glorious Lad and Weregonnagetcha who I had not heard of.

Hope Chambord is okay.

Puccini straight to the Derby now?

Will catch the rest of the replays later.

Yea!

Awesome! Can't wait to see her again. It's ridiculous that the NZ Derby is her only G1 win so far - she should have four or five. So unlucky. Hope she changes that this prep.

Entries for Te Rapa on Saturday look spectacular.
