New Zealand Racing, 2015-16

Tavago was excellent - that's exactly the sort of performance you want to see over a mile for a horse heading towards the Derby. Exciting times. I'll be calling one of his trainers within the next hour, so there should be an update on the website later today.

It sounds like Rising Romance has gone out for a break - http://www.horseracing.com.au/news/n...ising-romance/

Thanks for that.

Exciting field for the Captain Cook Stakes!!! (Hoping for Soriano but oh how I love them all).

Please blow a kiss to Storming the Tower for me at Ellerslie after he wins that first race (he should!). Oooh Selfie and Strata Lady and oh...that field for the Concorde H... gotta root for Durham Town but will be thrilled for whoever wins. That is my kinda field.

Lest I forget, godspeed, Locket at Riccarton on Friday.

Beautiful day at Ellerslie at the moment. Can't wait for the races coming up here today!

I actually picked Salford Art in the first race - 5th in the Counties Cup last time, and this should be easier than that. But we'll see.

Busy day ahead, covering Trentham as well. But it should be really good racing at both venues.

Wow, Lisa Allpress. Eight days after that bad spill at Otaki, she's back and winning races again.

Sofia Rosa!

Beautiful result in the Concorde, and Julinsky Prince does it again in the Captain Cook!

Great pick with Salford Art and yes, well done covering both.

I especially loved your Julinsky Prince piece. Really fine work as usual. I did not even know / remember he had won it three years ago!

Fantastic race.What a move he made!

Authentic Paddy... what a star is right!

Oh Soriano... great run once again. Cannot be disappointed in my gutsy fav ever.

Stratham! Haha wasn't expecting that and VERY nice! LIked that late move by Riding Shotgun. I will now have to go back and watch some of his races.

Oh Durham Town.... just not his day. Well my favorite last place performance is a tie between him and Nashville and I will continue to be a huge fan of both.

Good luck to Amun Ra (it's been a while!) at Ellerslie on Wednesday!
