Thanks for that and yes, I just took a look at the entries! Spectacular!
There's a picture of Time Keeper on the front of the nzracing site that made my heart stop for a sec.
Happy to see Opie will stay on Chop Chop for the Oaks. I did so like her dad even though he never won for me.
Hope he turns out to be a good sire. Such a pretty boy.
Shaune Ritchie has a very valid point here, doesn't he?
“Why the feature Oaks lead-up can’t be run on the Sunday so we don’t have to get replacement riders I don’t know, perhaps there’s a valid reason, but I can’t think of one,” Ritchie said.
Have to toss this in...
“I’m on the ball early and I’ve booked Michael Dee. He’s won on her before and he deserves his chance in a Group Three race.”
Indeed.
