How awesome and yeah I would imagine it's worth having to miss Puccini (... and Sangster, Miss Pelear and Antonio!). Should be a fantastic day! Can't wait to hear about it.

Good luck to Vey... oh no if I start that with the fields at Hastings I'll be here all night. Just have a blast!!!

At Hastings now! The press room isn't the best, but the track is looking magnificent and the sun is shining. Can't wait for G1 racing.

First race is about 40 min away!

How exciting and oh wow ed I didn't realize Amun Ra was in the race with Stratocaster!!! You probably said it and I forgot.

Please wave to Blizzard (pretty boy! ) and Pink Diamond and Sam and Brotha and oh God every horse in the Makfi!!!!!!

Especially Veyron though. And Shuka. And Xanadu, Zennista, Nashville (might win, huh?), Soriano (might win), I Do (might win), Survived, Ms. O'Reilly, Jesus how does anyone cap this race? This is just the best field... wish I were there!

Have a wonderful time. Hope everyone comes home safe and am totally looking forward to reading your recap!

Stratocaster! That was an incredible performance. Wow. Trying to find the words to do justice to it in an article now. That's some horse.

Oh yea! Happy to hear he won impressively and also that Amun Ra hit the board. Can't wait to catch the replay later!

edit Just saw something on Twitter about Ponderosa Miss. How awful.

[_ed_]

Yeah, that was so sad. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery. That really cast a bit of a shadow over the whole day.

But what a wonderful performance from I Do, yet again. Just a fantastic mare.

So happy for her connections and cannot wait to see all the replays.

Blizzard! Haha I was surprised!
