Sucks about not being able to post! I've missed you!

Hooray for the big Derby special edition issue that you put out! Can't wait.

Yes I just saw the fields for Saturday and that is a nice field... it would be stunning if she could beat Fix and win!

Re the Gunieas field (which is always just so exciting)... okay this is really stupid and I am all for one of the top guys you mentioned BUT I am very happy to see Blizzard running. Excuse me while I revert to pretty horsie mode... he is so pretty haha!

Noticed Starcheeka entered and hadn't noticed the name (his name, right? I always thought he was a she for some reason) but I see he's run lately...

Was he injured at one point?I mean weren't we expecting big things from him way back when or am I mixing up his name with someone else (and yes I do expect you to read my mind).

Exciting time of year. Can't wait for Saturday.

GOOD LUCK, PINZAARA!!!!!

Nothing wrong with liking Blizzard! He ran a great race in the Championship Stakes. He's definitely good enough to do something in this.

Starcheeka's had a few injuries throughout his career, yeah, and he's just not been an easy horse to work with - inconsistent and very strong-willed! But he's been amazingly good when he's been in the mood. His G3 win as a 3yo was amazing.

Pinzaara's been scratched from this weekend's race. It was hard enough to beat Fix, but Stephen McKee decided it was just too much to ask from that wide gate. So we're saving her for Ellerslie on Feb 12.

Oh my God poor Time Keeper.

Re the fields for today,in the race your girl woulda been in, interesting to see Packing Tycoon there. Not sure how I missed his name before and had to do a double take.

He was the AOB-trained Alexander Pope who, when he went to hk, couldn't win one. He hardly placed. I don't think he was very happy there!

Be interesting to see how he does now although my initial reaction is he's in waaaay over his head.

Man that just sucked finding out about Time Keeper last night. Once in a while you feel like your heart has been ripped out... you know?

He should have had a nice long, lazy retirement.

I know. So sad. He was a lovely horse.

Thanks for the Packing Tycoon info! It'll be interesting to see how he goes.

Have not seen any replays but just glanced at results and so much for being in over his head.
