New Zealand Racing, 2014-15

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.

When are the awards, anyway? Cannot seem to recall and oh what to do wih VSB in all the same categories as Mongolian Khan?

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.

Thanks!

Oh wow Spin Doctor!!! How did I miss that?! Man he really does love Te Rapa!!! (Awfully nice ride by Alyssa Schwerin who, I have to admit, I have not heard of).

Feel a little bit bad for Jubilate... he sure has heart.

Will you be at Ellerslie on Saturday?

Illuminati is really such a nice horse... she just keeps on improving!

Looks like a nice little race with Flower Bomb and The Filly.

I keep hoping to see Brave Centaur... maybe he was retired (?).

Yep, definitely going to Ellerslie! The Foal Stakes is such a nice field.

I wish I could be at Ruakaka today instead of in the office - that track is beautiful and the races have been great.

For Brave Centaur, I found this story from October: http://www.waikatostud.co.nz/default...articleid=1086

He ran 14th in that race and hasn't done anything since. I'm not sure what the story is.

Thanks for that Ed. Hope he's okay wherever he is.

Thoughts on any particular horses in the Foal Stakes?

Good luck to Fried Rice... get that 2nd win! (I have not heard of Woodville)!
