It was a really fun trip down to Christchurch yesterday. Loved it. A kind of cold day, but awesome racing action all the way through. And I managed to get up close to the man of the moment after his life-changing win.


I can't wait to do it all again next week!

THE HOMBRE NEWS!

...The Hombre hit out well in work.

“We’re all in a happy mood here,” said Bary. “It’s been a bit of a drought for the stable but things are looking up. The three stakeswinners are all coming up well and some young ones are showing promise.”

...

The Hombre is set to start fresh-up in the Listed $50,000 Counties Bowl (1100m) at Pukekohe on November 23.

Oh! That was such a good race and wow Fritzy Boy... what a nice 3rd. Cheers to Eight Shillings and to the winner, Barbaric.

The Hombre needs another one or two back and then they all better watch out!

Great couple of days of racing! That race was awesome, and we saw a couple of nice fillies win 3yo stakes races - Lucia Valentina and Rising Romance. And Lady Kipling deserved her G3 win today. Another 2nd for Postman's Daughter!

Thanks! One of my favourite things about going down to Christchurch is how easy it is to get so close to the Guineas winners. I can get down there from my seat in one or two minutes. Ellerslie's just too huge to do that - especially when there's a big crowd for the major races.

I know there are three other very good fillies in this race, and I know that saying this could make me look really dumb, but I really think the only question here is how far Bounding wins by. And I can't wait to see it.
