Ed did you see the race with the triple dead heat for 3rd? That was awesome!

Yeah, amazing! I've never seen that before. Great racing down there today.

Bounding in full flight:


She looked so much more powerful today. Awesome. Next stop, G3 Gold Trail at Hastings. Then the 1000 Guineas. Following the same path as stablemate Fix did last year.

Great pic and yeah she was really good.

Hey what's up with this...

Hooray for 7 of 14 being G1 winners BUT where is Rogan? I thought he always had the mount on Veyron (I mean unless he's injured). (?).

Unfortunately it's because Australian authorities took too long to approve his visa.

It's all sorted now, but too late for this weekend's race. He'll be back on next time Veyron runs, though!

Did you see Wattle Bay's race yesterday?

Oh ed I completely forgot (so thank you!) and yes I just watched it... wow that was so nice seeing him win! With respect to Mark Sweeny who usually has the mount that was a really nice ride Dylan Turner gave him.

Too bad about Rogan...

The good news is he got his name back.

Bad news... well maybe it's not bad BUT I wish he'd be sent home to race.

Yeah, I miss him! But it's good he's got the old name back.

No stakes races this weekend. Bit of an anticlimax after the Foxbridge last week! But at least the first G1 race of the season is now less than 10 days away.

Also, we're seeing a whole bunch of nice 3yos coming out. There was another one yesterday.

Love this time of year.

Rogan's back on!

Their loyalty is amazing.

But thanks to Christian Reith for doing a great job as the substitute!
