What a great pick that was!!!!! Thrilled for you!
Finally just saw results and ah well but oh that one made me happy (... and Moozoon too)! edit - Just read your very good piece in the Informant and whoa I had no idea In Style was Danica Guy's first G1 winner. Last edited by my miss storm cat : 01-17-2015 at 09:11 AM. |

I love Tomorrowland and I know there are huge things in store for him this year but wow...what an incredible win that was! Happily surprised by Designated Driver... had completely written her off. Very nice 2nd. |

Fun reading about the jocks coming in for the Karaka Million... it'll be awesome to see Tommy with Bella Court although, if it were me, I would keep MdP on her and give Tommy Platinum Express but what do I know?!
Hope The Justice League makes it in. Need to go back and watch Maritimo as I was surprised to read, in your piece, that he's the favorite. I would have thought Bella Court and Strata Lady in that order. Exciting times! edit - Just read about the three late entries for the Thorndon Mile... yay! Soriano!

I was wondering about the Berry/MdP mounts too. I'm not sure if Mark got to choose? Interesting decision if he did!
I have Saturday off this week, but I'll still be watching all the Trentham races closely. I'm on duty for the Karaka Million day on Sunday. Exciting field for that, and I can't wait to see VSB again in the Mile. |

Very nice field for the Stayers Cup. I'm a sucker for races like these. I'm rooting for Stratocaster in the MIle BUT not sure if he can beat VSB, Tavy et al. Whoa the Karaka Million! Good Lord that is a GREAT field! On a smaller note, I was watching some of Graphic's replays and I really do think he'll win the Wellington Cup again. (That was such a great one last year, wasn't it? Skysoblue hanging on after leading the whole way and a NICE run from good old Yin Yang Master with MdP up no less... names like Guns at Five and Annie Higgins... what a nice field that was.) Anyway yeah I do think he'll pull one out of nowhere and remember how to win. IF he doesn't am rooting for Ransomed although it would be nice for Templeten or Our Bee Jay since neither wins much and both were in it last year. * * * edit - A really fun replay is Templetens first win (Nov. 13, 11) where he absolutely flies past Zonza! I think the race caller was really surprised. Last edited by my miss storm cat : 01-21-2015 at 10:17 AM. |

Oh yes please! I am shocked Graphic is the favorite for the Wellington Cup! I mean a lot of these odds are completely crazy but that truly surprises me. Love Soriano so very much but I do not expect her to win so will have to look around a little... maybe Abidewithme (?). I do think Rock Diva wins the Stayers Cup but oh how I would love to see that field in person. Thanks for the odds! |

So I'm putting together a couple of plays and walking the fine line between sentiment and who I think will win... Ringo is the favorite? Very strange.
Genius is the one I have no idea what to do with. Will include Kisses... use Abidewithme and Pondarosa Miss in the top spot but oh Soriano what to do with you? |

Puccini! His brother Sir Slick won the Thorndon twice, and now it's his turn. Amazing.

Oh man I just love Rockfast too. I bet Stratocaster... ah well.
Hardline! ... and Selfie! Whoa he's a nice one, isn't he? Right as they're hitting the wirse is that TJL who comes over right into... China SIlk or Windbourne? Looked pretty dangerous. Oh well, beautiful races. liked the cool overhead shots (!)... Candle In the Wind! Nice to see her win the Stayers Cup. |

Also wanted to ask you regarding the top ten list... if there were, say, a top 20 would Giant Turtle and / or Dartmoor be on it and also have meant to ask you for some time now... where is Turn Me Loose? Thanks in advance. |

Turn Me Loose is heading to Australia and will probably resume in the Hobartville Stakes, which I think is in mid/late Feb.
I'm getting the feeling the Platinum Witness will go to the Oaks. Her Derby odds are 18-1 and she's only 6-1 for the Oaks - I think there's probably something in that. Giant Turtle has disappointed me a little bit in his last couple of races, but he could still put himself into contention with a good run next time. He might be in the noms for the G2 Waikato Guineas when they come out later today. Similar story with Dartmoor - he was last in VSB's race. But he was quite good before that and can bounce back. |
