Making me dizzy how many good girls are there!
How on earth can anyone make a pick? Even my good luck to list isn't worth posting as it's half the field.  We do need to discuss another race as well young man! In the Team Wealleans Hcp... good luck to my special Mr. The Hombre, to Vonusti (please win again one day), and to the beautiful Upsala who I've just accepted will not win, aka my usual suspects.  Who is the favorite in that one anyway?

No, you're right!
The explanation for Platinum Princess is that she prefers tracks that are a bit rain-affected, and it looks like being a very firm surface tomorrow. So she's at a disadvantage there. But I can't explain the odds for the other ones at all! Floria is another one I think is crazy at 12.

Can't wait to see the replay.
I guess my The Hombre was 2nd in his race. Have not seen full results for any... hope everyone came home safe. Good luck to Mufhasa!

Mufhasa was brave! Just couldn't quite hold on.
The weights have just been announced for Saturday's G1 Easter Handicap. Jimmy has to carry 61kg! If he wins, I believe it'll be one of the biggest weights ever carried to victory in this 138-year-old race.

Great win by Upsala! And Veyron won the Easter really nicely.
Jimmy struggled under his big weight - finished 6th or 7th. Silent Achiever just ran the worst race of her life in the Derby.  That was too bad to be true. I wonder what went wrong.

I haven't watched any replays yet.
Poor Jimmy, and SA. Am I crazy or wasn't Ocean Park running in the Derby? Maybe i skipped over his name... Veyron is a nice horse. 2nd year in a row winning this race, right? (I know this or think it from watching too many Sir Slick replays and he was in that one... or maybe I've lost my mind). Upsala. I looked at results last night as I was on my way out and that just made me so happy. Now if only Vonusti could win one...

Yeah, Ocean Park was scratched on the morning of the race because of "heat in a leg". It doesn't sound serious - they just took him out of the race as a precaution.
And you're right, it was Veyron's second Easter. No horse has done that since 1960-61. And Veyron's won four G1 races now, with a career record of 13 wins from 21 starts.

Hope she runs well in the Travis. I'm really starting to like this girl. She tries so hard every time.
