I think he moves up my Derby list after that, possibly even as high as two.

Very nice win (but my favorite part was the "Giant Turtle off his back" line ).

Surprised Graphic couldn't do it today (nice win by Delveen, who I have not heard of).

Good luck wishes to Flower Bomb and The Grinner especially (won't win) and to Rollout The Carpet (who should win easily)!

Have fun!!!

edit - Love and respect to Nashville and Survived and all but I am kinda rooting for the always hard-trying Ismishwara to win the Waikato Stud at the other track today.

edit - Looking at the twitter stuff from Awapuni... track safe? Fingers crossed.

... or not!

Happy to see Flower Bomb was 2nd... can't wait for replay!

Frustrating! Time for ONE replay right now and on the NZ racing site if you click on R8 @ Awapuni vid you get the Gallagher Marton Cup, which was actually the 6th (and yes I did try reversing it and playing r6 which is also r6). Really wanted to see Iamishwara's 2nd in the Waikato Stud. Will try again later but ugh!!!!!

Annoying! But I think I know what happened there - they had some issues with the track early in the afternoon and delayed the races significantly. I think race six ended up being at the time race eight was meant to be!

Thanks for explaining as you are probably right! Still not fixed but someday...

In the meantime it's awesome to see the noms for the Telegraph and the Levin Classic (!).

Yeah, really looking forward to both races. It will be interesting to see Soubrettes face her first G1 test in the Telegraph.

Ed how is Bounding? I haven't seen a thing since she had to be scratched from the Railway... any update?

Can't wait to see the final fields and I do hope Tomorrowland draws well (although there are, of course, about ten I'd be happy if they won. ).

By the way... Bella Court looked really good! Took me a while to catch up but had to mention that as I know we'll be hearing that name a LOT.
