Whoa, a really tiring day - I think I put up nine website stories, as well as writing eight big previews for the newspaper. Exhausting! But fun.

Your Rising Romance piece was especially touching.

Nice to get a Julinsky Prince update!

Will check out Get That Jive.

Funny... right as I was thinking about Iamishwara this morning I was scrolling down entries and came across his name.

In HK they award the most improved horse... do you guys have that there? I can't seem to remember...

Well if so he should win it!

Great work, ed! It made for a wonderful mornings reading.

Was having a break and looked on Twitter to see if he was being talked about... found this and it's from last month but oh... I just have to post it.

“He’s rebuilt the stables, the fences and bought the groceries. He’s very special to us,” Nicola Kaye said.

On Iamishwara...

It's awesome what that horse has done for his people. One of the best stories of the season.

We don't have a most improved award, but I wish we did! He'd definitely be the winner this year.

The awards are in September.

I think most categories are already decided (unless Sacred Star does something special in Brisbane in a race like the Stradbroke - that could make a case for him for HOTY). But the steeplechases are over the next few months and they have to be included too.
