Ha! Yeah, it's something a bit unique in world racing I guess. It's nice to have the mix of city tracks and also the country ones all dotted with sheep!
Horrible weather at Ellerslie today and the track is a swamp. But some nice races so far anyway.

Happy that Nothing won, by the way. Terrible name! Okay I just tried the Twilight Dragon race as well (yay, Flower Bomb... good girl) and that one stops in exactly the same place. Ugh. Glad I at least got to read your piece on Sacred Spirit!

Finally got to watch it.. nice race. Liked Get the Jive as well.
Game effort from Flower Bomb. Oh well, good for Twilight Dragon. Nice ride by Danielle (I am watching the replays backwards so a few nice rides!) on Ramarro. Wish Lucky Feather hadn't moved too soon... he could have won that one. Now I very rarely look to anywhere else (aside form The Informant) for my news but saw this and had to post it... http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/...owners-at-odds How frustrating! Feel bad for Ms. Logan. Hope that whatever is best for the horse is what happens next.  * * * HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!  Last edited by my miss storm cat : 05-26-2015 at 09:28 AM.

This week's NZ races kind of pale in comparison to what happened at Belmont Park today. What an amazing moment for racing.
My wrap of it: http://www.theinformant.co.nz/racing...-Triple-Crown- There are others better, but hopefully mine does it justice too. Golden Horn was incredible in the Derby too.

Happy to hear Ambitious Dragon will be going home.
Nice noms for that first race especially on Saturday at Ruakaka! Looks like fun!

Yeah! I'm off on vacation tomorrow for just over a week, which I'm really excited about but I'm a bit disappointed to be missing out on some good racing action while I'm away.
I'll try to keep up with Royal Ascot!

Happy to read the VSB stuff this morning.
The Informant ran a blurb from the NZ Racing desk on Durham Town and while I am nothing but happy reading such a nice, little piece on a horse I like so very much it doesn't really do him justice. Some day, as I think he will be around for quite a while more, some day maybe a proper feature would be in order for a slow news day, you know? Just a thought and not meaning to be presumptuous but Durham Town > 200 words!

Romelo!
Read your article and just watched the replay... VERY nice! Very touching going to the site and seeing the Bonecrusher tribute. He was sure something special. Grateful to you and I clearly remember the first time you told me about him a few years back. How wonderful that he lived such a long time. Hope he did not suffer for too long at the end. Always sad when they leave us but oh... legends always live on, don't they?
