How lovely she is, ed! Best of luck with her.

Goodness where is Archie? Had you told me and I forgot? If so, sorry!

Well I just deposited $ so I could play the big race tonight but alas... tvg decided to allow us to bet the other track and the racing day is now over there so that, as they say, is that!

Will look forward to checking results later on. Good luck to you!

It was a shame that they called those races off - the biggest day of the year for that track. But the Waikato Guineas should be a great race.

Archie had a leg injury and had to be retired. But he's found a nice new home with a dressage group, which is great to hear.

WOW, what a great performance from Giant Turtle!

But I have to say well done to Mongolian Khan. He's proven me wrong, and he's a deserving second favourite for the NZ Derby after that.

That's a shame... donot know the details but it was stupid we couldn't bet on the Gunieas. Oh well...

Archie! Okay for some reason I blanked out BUT am happy to look forward to your new girl, Auriol (pretty name).

Why yes it is 4:30 in the morning here and yes I did watch the replay again and just had to say McQueen was impressive after overcoming that awful start, poor guy.

I can't wait to see the new Derby list... did Giant Turtle crack the top... 15 or so maybe? 20? Hope so!

Really beautiful win by Mongolian Khan. I hadn't expected that at all (either!).
