New Zealand Racing, 2015-16

[my miss storm cat]

Just watched the replay again and I can't catch my breath haha whoa what a finish but it's frustrating cause I can hear when the announcer says something about Splendido but cannt actually see what happened going up the rise (?). Cheers to Rangipo and to his wonderful stable mate Raghu and to What's the Story!!!!!

That was awesome and oh Durham Town... I need to go watch that again.

Not that this matters for such a miniscule amount but..

Nice!

What a close Derby. I was wrong about Rangipo - he's got plenty of stamina!

I'm not sure what happened with Splendido. He definitely hit the rail, and he might have stumbled for a step or two. But he seemed to be fine afterwards, luckily! Capella and Valley Girl were both affected by it, which made their performances even better.

Thanks and I am really stunned you took the time to answer as I know you're writing simultaneously (just read two of your pieces)... so exciting... all the races... must get some sleep but will watch ALL the replays again first thing. : )

Hooray for Derby Day!

It's embarrassing how many times I have now watched the Derby Day replays.I think I felt a little... cheated? Like I wasn't ready for it cause of being so busy with non-horsie life things lately. Ah well. Just a wonderful day of racing.

This made my morning... seeing that wonderful horsies name on The Informant...

"Whenever a float turns up he gets excited and we’re close to the racecourse here so when the races are on we have a big stereo unit turned up loud outside his box so he can’t hear anything

“If he hears the commentator he just gets stirred up and wants to get out there"

Aaaah I love you, Iamishwara.

Oh, I heard some amazing news about Durham Town that I included in my article about his retirement! Unfortunately it's going in the newspaper, so it will only be available to subscribers.

Maybe I'll post the relevant snippets here once the paper is out on Friday.

Excellent fields for Saturday. Three G1s and a G2!
