This thread's gonna go a bit quiet for a while. I'm off overseas for six weeks!

I'm going sightseeing in San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Berlin and others, and I'm going to see some reasonably famous horse races in Louisville on May 5 and Epsom Downs on June 2. So excited!

But sorry for the lack of NZ updates between now and June 10.

Huge congrats on your girl coming in 4th! Absolutely amazing!!!!!

Ummmm guess who won?

Yes! Vonusti fonally did it!!!

(First win since he won the Telegraph over two years ago, right?).

I was almost in tears, so happy. (Don't judge me!).

He looked good, like he remembered!

Came flying, the big lug, and just nailed it at the wire.

Stuff to tell ed when he's back...

Jimmy will stand at Rich Hill...

Six O'Clock News is on the retirements thread...

Wealth Princess won the Glenlogan Park again (2nd time?) last weekend (!)...(or however long ago that was)

MIlitary Move was retired on the 23rd but from our friends at the HKJC...

MILITARY MOVE (M077)
24/05/2012

The Owner of MILITARY MOVE (M077) confirmed to the Club this morning that he has now decided to keep his horse in training. As a result, the retirement notice for MILITARY MOVE (M077) published yesterday is now cancelled.

Possibly the last couple of things till you're back but I don't want to forget!

Check out the head on replay. Major applause for MDP cause that could have turned into a nightmare very quickly.

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/r...eno=8&venue=ST

Excerpt, SCMP...

Hall's day wasn't all beer and skittles though and his handy three-year-old Medallist ran into unusual trouble in the eighth race.Medallist's hood and bridle slipped over his head behind the starting gates and everything had to be refitted before the start of the race, but it didn't end there. The gear slipped over Medallist's head again mid-race, blocking the horse's vision and forcing jockey Mark du Plessis to keep hold of Medallist's head so the bit didn't come out of his mouth and Du Plessis had to ease the horse out of the race.

Military Move is entered at HV on Wednesday, Dolouze up. (Noble Conqueror is in that one and he loves Happy Valley so we'll see).

edit - Oh yeah and Opie gave Gingerbread Man a really nice ride last night at Kranji.

This is insane.

60 kg for Ginga Dude.

Hope he blows past all of them and shows those youngsters how it's done.

Nice quote from Mr. Boyd...

"Michael Walker once told me that if he had to go into a battle with a horse it would be him."

5th. Just a bit too much weight. But he tried hard and wasn't far away.

Thanks for all those updates while I was away! Lots of interesting news.
