You deserve it. Just thrilled for you!

Hope you'll tell us a little about it whenever you can.

Very nice to see Allez Eagle back.

Looks like a nice field for the Rotorua Stakes! No jockey listed for your girl as of yet... who gets the mount?

Good luck!!!

She was going to be ridden by Mark Sweeney - her usual partner, Sam Spratt, has gone to Europe for our winter.

But I've just heard Pinzaara is scratched. She has conjunctivitis. So that's it for her this season - time for a long and well-deserved rest.

Awww very sorry to hear that but yes... a well deserved rest. She's had a lot of nice races!

Hope she recovers quickly.

All Decked Out did nicely at the trials today! First appearance since Boxing Day. Not fully fit, but ran well to finish second in his trial.

Great to hear!

On a not-as-happy note poor Upsala is now in Singapore and finished last.

I wish he'd be sent home.

Managed to find a NZ connection to California Chrome!
