Veyron seems to be really well, and he's going for the Zabeel Classic on Boxing Day. He won it in 2012 and was second to Shez Sinsational in 2011.

Agree about the Carlotta ride - it was not a good call to go for that rail run.

So good to see Pondarosa Miss back after those injuries she suffered at Hastings in August! It would be amazing to see her win, and she's being aimed at the G1 Auckland Cup in March.

Oh thank you for the Veyron news!!!!!

edit - Scratch what I said about playing Tomorrowland... I need to just be a fan and not start playing my favorite racing!

_ed_ · #**183** 12-12-2014, 07:04 PM

Here we go. Good luck, Pondarosa Miss!

_ed_ · #**184** 12-12-2014, 07:12 PM

She did it! Oh, wow. I can't believe it.

_ed_ · #**185** 12-12-2014, 07:24 PM

Just watching the replay. Such a great comeback performance from her.

I'm so impressed that she was totally fearless in taking that rails run - you would understand her being nervous after what happened in August.

_ed_ · #**186** 12-12-2014, 07:51 PM

Sort of feels like the rest of today's racing doesn't really matter after that! Haha! But there's still some really good stuff to come.

"... she's back, big time!" Haha that was outstanding!!!!! Thrilled!

Just watched it again... wow!

Ummm no disrespect to Leith Innes but that was a kinda strange ride on Deanne Martin!

Awww I was so hoping for Zennista but nice win by Surpass.

_ed_ · #**189** 12-12-2014, 09:32 PM

Yeah, it was a strange move. I think I understand what he was trying to do, but it didn't really work out for him in the end.

Wow, that's a heck of a performance from Tomorrowland. Nice horse.

my miss storm cat · #**190** 12-12-2014, 09:36 PM

Oh he won? Awesome!

Who won the Eulogy, ed? I am having trouble with the tab results.

_ed_ · #**191** 12-12-2014, 09:37 PM

Choice
Attention Seeker
Palace Rock

Oh! Okay thanks and will watch the replay tomorrow and the one for Tomorrowland (who I decided not to bet as I edited above but am pretty sure he probably went off at like no odds anyway... better for me to just be a fan for the racing overt here) as well.

Good luck to Soriano, Postman's Daughter et al... hope to wake up to good news about that race!

Sports Illustrated!

Wow, the stallion Fast 'N' Famous is going incredibly well at the moment - stakes wins in the last 8 days with In Style, Adventador, Tomorrowland and Sports Illustrated, and a 2nd with Attention Seeker in the Eulogy.

I love her (Sports Illustrated, who I hadn't even heard of till now haha!)! That was really really nice to see oh oh, Soriano... happy she picked up a check and look really good doing so (!!!). Just such a nice field.

Tomorrowland!

Nice win by Choice... cool how she found that extra gear and just flew past everyone! Why was O'Marilyn scratched though?

Not totally convinced about Mongolian Khan's win in the Salver yesterday. He looked strong, but he had such an easy lead. I want to see him do that off a strong pace before I'm a true believer.

But he has won three out of four now, so he's got some talent.

If I can get over the name, Marky Mark was a nice winner of the 2yo race. First NZ winner for Makfi.

Ed it's 6:30 in the morning here and I have been trying to access that trial for like 20 minutes... I don't know why it always seems to be hit o miss with these things. Is it that they are only up for X amount of time or only certain tracks (or is it me?

). Oh well... can't wait to see him!

Have not yet seen Mongolian Khan but this made me laugh!

Cool that NZ Racing added trackcams! Anywhere else in the world I really wouldn't care.

Surprised to see Veyron's name in the noms for Saturday... will he go?

Happy to see that Amun Ra might be entered.

Oh yeah Park Princess too as I hadn't realize she had returned for one last month.

I think trial replays take a bit longer to be uploaded - not sure why that is. But hopefully it will be there soon!

I was surprised to see Veyron nominated as well. I'll be talking to his trainer later today and I'll get back to you.

I think you're right cause I'm now able to view the ones from Foxton (I have no idea where that is!) from the other day so yes... I guess it takes a few days.

Exciting about talking with Veyron's people!
