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

Beautiful shot, ed!

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.

Look who's back!

Wonderful to see his name again and wow... Durham Town! Very nice win.

Yeah, excellent performance. Hope he might get a well-deserved first G1 win some time over the summer.

Here's the 1000 Guineas field...



Odds:
Bounding 1.70
Miss Foxwood 5
Spellbinder 6
Costa Viva 6.50
Role Model 12
Miss Mossman 41
Silhouette Noire 60
Rachel Rafter 80

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.

Another really fun trip to Christchurch. I've loved it. But I can't figure out how I feel about that dramatic 1000 Guineas. Bounding unlucky? Or was Costa too good today? I'll have to watch the replay when I get home.
