New Zealand Racing, 2014-15

[_ed_]

I haven't heard anything about Craig, but he's still booked for four rides on Derby day so I'm guessing it's nothing major.

I'm not sure about the Derby either. I think the 'big two' are both going to be huge chances, but I also have so much respect for Vavasour - she's so big and strong that people say she looks more like a 5yo than a 3yo! That's got to count for something in the home stretch.

And then there could be some upsets - Sound Proposition? Margin Trader? I just don't know.

Sealed By A Dance - Reese Jones

"I was leading one behind the barrier at the Matamata trials when it reared up and came down on top of me. I was a bit stiff and sore and didn't ride at Te Rapa on Wednesday, but I'll be alright for Saturday."
