Glad to hear it!

I'll be gone next week (Hawaii... trip 1 of 3... yay haha! England later this summer and Croatia in the Fall - cannot wait)) but in the meantime LOVE some of the fields for the weekend, especially the Storming the Tower / Celebrity Miss / Pump Up the Volume and the one with John Gray, Illumaniti and Fascination Street.

Oh and wow... that race at Wanganui (Ag Challenge Stakes) looks awesome!

I know you must be swamped but Graphic... please remember if you ever hear anything... (?). Thanks! (Also on my favorite girl Pinzaara... would love to hear. Archie as well and the new kid!).

Sounds great! I absolutely love Hawaii.

"Storming the Tower... oh he's too good! He did all the donkey work and he gets the money!"

That was awesome!!!!!!!

Was so happy to see your piece on his win today. God I love him.

Argh, three horses put down in the jumping races at Ellerslie today. Jockeys coming back without their horses and crying. I can't handle this.

Desperately sorry to hear this. It's heartbreaking and I cannot imagine being there and having to cover it. Just very sorry for all involved and I hope the three horses were released from pain quickly

We needed to have some great racing today to help us recover from Monday, and we've got it. Lovely 2yo performances by Elusive State and Sophia Magia, and how good was Underthemoonlight?

Loving the racing in Brisbane today too. It's been amazing so far. Although that performance from VSB was too bad to be true. Hope he's okay.

So proud of Benzini and Sacred Elixir! That was a sensational win by Sacred Elixir in particular.
