New Zealand Racing 2013-14

Brilliant win! She's just running so well at the moment. That performance put her on the list of contenders for the Horse of the Year, but I think Silent Achiever had something to say about that half an hour later.

Any thoughts on The Hombre's race?

I hate to even say it was disappointing (and that was nice to see McLaren get another win) but is he done or was it the track.... just not his day? Just wondering if you had any thoughts.

It was really disappointing. That's twice in a row he's run really badly and come last. He's run bad races before, but usually with a good one in between. He's just not looking like running a good race at the moment. I don't know. Maybe he's had enough.

Nice news about Final Touch: http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...Slipper-result

I wonder (if he's had enough). Poor big boy he sure is fun to watch but when he doesn't fire... it's just sad.

Great to read about Final Touch and thanks so much for posting it.

When is your interview at The Informant? Hope you get it!!!

Was looking at the noms for Saturday at Ellerslie and first off (and most important) good luck to Pinzaara! Since she's cross entered is there one race you prefer over the other?

Cannot wait for the final field for the Easter H.!!!!! Looks like it'll be great.

Just looked at all the noms at all tracks for Friday and Saturday and my head is spinning!

Great weekend of racing there!

I love the Easter Handicap field! Easter Handicap day is always sad, because it's the last G1 of the season, but at least we're going out in style. Just such a deep field. Maybe Chintz or Abidewithme? I don't know. Can't wait to see it.

As for Pinzaara, I'm not sure. Both fields look tough - In Style in the 1400m, and Twilight Dragon and Flower Bomb in the 1200m. If In Style goes in the Easter H instead, then maybe I'd rather see her go for that race. But I'm sure she'll make me proud again in either race!

My interview is tomorrow afternoon. Really getting nervous now!

Hope it went well!!!

I'm never good at interviews, but I feel good about that one. I think it went well. They are interviewing other people, but some of the things they said made it sound like I was the leading candidate. Really excited. Can't wait to hear!
