New Zealand Racing, 2009-10

[_ed_]

Albert The Fat won the race.

He was 6th. The race might have been a bit too short for him as well. His next race should suit better.

Sir Slick last.

The wet track stopped Mufhasa again. He tried to lead all the way and held on until inside the last 200m, but he faded after that and finished about 5th or 6th.

THanks ed. I saw the Mufhasa race... just as well I didn't see Sirs Slick and Time Keeper.

Smoulder is a 2yo filly by Traditionally out of Flying Firebird. She's now had 4 starts for 3 wins (1 stakes) and a third behind G2 winner and G1-placed Jimmy Choux.

She's being aimed at the 1000 Guineas in November. She'll probably come up against Banchee there. 5 months away, but it's already exciting.
