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.

I just watched the replay and was wondering... what did the announcer mean when he implied that there had been some delay to the start?

Great race and wow what a nice (and surprising!) win!

Hope you had a lot of fun.

My pick was Spellbinder... love Bounding and she is fantastic but I would have played Spellbinder on top had I been there (or posted in time).

I hope you have a photo or two you don't mind sharing!

The delay was a bit scary! Bounding lashed out in her gate and got her leg stuck. They took a while to get her out of her gate, then the vet had to make sure she was OK to run.

No photos this time, unfortunately. It was a really hot day, and they were already taking Costa Viva away for a drink and a shower by the time I made it to the winners' circle.

Wow that sounds scary! Glad she was okay and that you had fun.

Whats up for the weekend? Anything good?
