Great field for the Captain Cook down in Wellington too - only eight of them, but six G1 winners!

SUCH a nice field! Can't wait. Also looking forward to the one with Ginner Hart, Flower Bomb, Touche. Eight Schillings etc.

... and of course Pinzaaras race!

Was surprised to read Amun Ra was gelded (!).

Great racing again so far at Ellerslie today. How good was Volkstok? He's a bit scary.

Watching the replays and still shaking my head. I don't know how he won that race.

Just looking at the tab results thingie and saw that Giant Turtle won... is that who you mean? Do tell!

GOOD LUCK to Pinzaara. Hope she does it, ed!

Do you think I Do wins today?

Replays tomorrow... can't wait!

I was still talking about Volkstok'n'barrell.

But Giant Turtle was really good today as well - looked like he was gone but fought back.

I hope Pinzaara wins too, but I'm not confident today. It's a tough field and she's drawn a wide gate. But I'll be proud of her whatever.

Not sure about I Do. Of course she's good enough, and I'd love to see her get another big win - this is her second to last start before she retires. But I think Puccini will be tough to beat today.
