Well I wasn't expecting that result at ALL!

Congrats to the connections, a very nice win, and nice to see Castledale have a nice boy (even if thie other son has a better name).

Castlzeberg!

(Zinko looked pretty good too)!

So proud of Pinzaara. She's gone up in grade since that last win, so she should be finding it harder to compete with these better horses. But she just never lies down. She's amazing.

Castlzeberg... wow. I wasn't expecting that! I was sure they'd catch him. But he just kept going! I guess he could do that in the Derby too!

He took four races to win his maiden - he finished second in the first three. But then he won a maiden race by six lengths and went straight into the Guineas... and won that too! It's possible he's just improving scarily quickly right now.

I'm sure you've already seen this but incase you haven't check out the name of one of his new stablemates... (!!!).

Does Michael Moroney have any other possible runners aside from Kidwelly (and is she nominated for the Oaks as well)?

He also has That's How We Roll - a maiden who's currently right at the bottom of the order of entry. So he's probably not a realistic chance to make it.

Yep, Kidwelly's in the Oaks too.

Hey ed why on earth isn't Veyron running in the Waikato Sprint this weekend?

Mufhasa all the way (looks like a great field)!
