Haha yay!!! That was awesome!!! What a finish! I woulda died of a heart attack if I had been there. I don't think I have ever seen so many of my favorite horses all across the track at the end like that.

Very happy he did it (again)!

NICE run by your girl and like you had said, very tough field but she did well!

Enjoyed your Shuka piece in the Informant.

Thanks! He's such a nice horse, and it's easy to write about him.

Very proud of Pinzaara. Thought she would be 3rd until those last few strides, but it was still a great race for her.

I just watched the Giant Turtle / Wealth Prince race again (don't judge me ... I really am liking both those horses so much and am hoping Wealth Prince wins his next out) and realize I forgot to ask you about Southern Comet.... hope he's okay.

Sorry to read about Chris Dell, a name I am not familiar with. Hope he'll make a full recovery.

It doesn't sound like his mount made it... do you know who it was?

It's sounding a bit better for Chris - a brain scan showed no signs of bleeding or damage, which is very good news. But he does have a bad concussion, so it will be a long recovery process.

Yeah, not good news for the horse, unfortunately - broke both front legs. He was an unnamed two-year-old.

The latest on Chris:

And I was happy to report this story:

That's a win-win. I was worried that Te Akau might not want to release Cameron from his contract, so it was very nice of them to do that. And now they've got one of the very best riding their horse.

Didn't make it to Ellerslie yesterday - was in the office writing our newspaper previews for the week. But there were some really good races! It was so good to see Snowdrop (daughter of Daffodil) win again, and Vavasour was just amazing in her race.
