New Zealand Racing, 2014-15

[_ed_]

Thanks! That was a fun race to watch and write about. The day got so sad later in the afternoon with the Melbourne Cup, but there were some fantastic races earlier in the day at Ellerslie.

The field for the 2000 Guineas on Saturday:



Not a big field, but a talented group. I can't wait.

We're underway on Guineas day!

The sun's shining, the track is perfect and I can't wait for the big races this afternoon.

Wow, Silver Eclipse was really good today in the Pegasus. She's grown and improved a whole lot since last season.

What do you think, ed? Does Stratocaster win the 2000 Guineas?

Lucky you being there. Have a great time!

Oh gee I just watched that a couple of times... that was some performance!

Beautiful run by Rockfast as well.

Looked like Stratocaster bumped into (I think it was Platinum Witness?) trying to get clear.

Oh well.. nice run from him as well and I do like him so much but wow... that was a nice win!

Also watched Ms. Danielles beautiful win (one of many on the day!) on Tomorrowland who is quickly becoming a favorite (!).

Happy to see Locket hit the board but have't seen Fritzy Boy's name anywhere so will assume he didn't and catch more replays throughout the day. As long as he made it home it's all good. He can be last... that's fine.

Lastly, thank you Opie for changing your mind and sticking around (!).

Some nice fields on Wednesday and good luck to Natuzzi, Antonio, Nashville et al BUT especially to Pinzaara!

(... and to Touche, Eight Shillings and Miss Mossman on the 11th).

Hey ed will the two fillies that were in the 2000 Guineas be running next week? Can't wait.

Excited for the New Zealand Cup as well. Can't wait to see the final field (come on, Postman's Daughter)!
