Good luck to Amo in R 6 tomorrow.... 9 years old and hasn't won lately. A bit of of buzz on Kingifly... hope he beats him home. Nunes up for the first time but aaaah well we can't have everything go right in life now, can we?

Nice field in R7... Diamond Supreme and Trulli (Brettie up... swoon) in either order/ Tiger Ridge (oh yes he can..... like this one much better than Wine Win or Cassa, even if it's been a while).

Come home safe, kids.

Go Britannia finally won one!

[my miss storm cat]

Well I really don't give a crap about this kinda thing but according to the SCMP even George Clooney was there to see Amo win.

(I mean he was there but hey, he must have seen that race.....)

[my miss storm cat]

Feel better, Helene Mascot (grade two paralysis of the larynx ???) and Super Red.

Retired... Carry the magic, Donnguan Victory, Lord Carins.

It means that it doesn't allow the trachea to open to it's full extent, which means the horse cannot breath as easily. Usually referred to as 'roaring' or 'making a noise'.

I cannot remember how they are graded, but I have a feeling it goes up to grade 4 (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

This article will be able to explain it much better:

Oh okay thanks... I've heard the expression but wasn't sure if this was the same (as a roarer).

Feel better Perfect Smile.
