New Zealand Racing, 2015-16

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!

Here's the Derby winner's maiden win, back in September:

They are!

Thanks for the Rangipo replay. : )

Oh pleeease tell me something about Durham Town!

Here's the best bit from the article:

“He’s had so much bad luck along the way, but he’s been ultra-consistent,” Logan said. “He’s done everything you could have dreamed for him to do, and he’s been the most wonderful horse to have around the stable.

“He’s going to have a life of luxury in his retirement now. He’ll join Zabeat, who’s still enjoying a happy retirement with us here, and we’ve actually got Sir Slick up here with us too. They’ll all spend their retirement together and have a great time.”

That was crazy and I'm so glad that, on the replay, they left the interview with the connection(s)... really nice for them. I was like who are you even talking about haha, had not heard of him but whoa... let's hear it for the nine year olds!

Wonderful seeing VSB back and wow, that was some run from Girl of My Dreams. I wouldn't have known about the protest had I not read your piece... wish all the replays would go on and show the post race stuff!

Surprised and happy seeing Nine Pin win the other day at Ashburton Small field and all but good to see all the same (... and Dillinger hit the board. Hooray!)

Noms for the Oaks look phenomenal.
