I laughed when I saw your post... okay yes I guess we shall just have to call her Ms. O'Reilly from here on out and leave it at that!

Not disappointed either. It's early yet.

Lucky you getting to go to the awards the other night and these races and yes I just watched the 8th...

Wow!

Gotta say I am impressed that Blue Streak managed to hang on for 2nd cause I don't want to forget that but whoa... El Pescado? Are you kidding me? Awfully nice win and a very good ride from Mr. Cameron. Too bad they don't use Trakus cause that would be interesting to look at with how wide he had to go and all.

I think you're right... a star is born.

Was going to watch the finale a little later but just did and boy am I glad as Pondarosa Miss is now a name I will burn into my brain. That was fantastic!

Rising stars indeed.

And I was so happy to write this story.

Well done!

I love reading stuff on the Informant and realizing it's something you've written.

Thanks! It's a dream come true.

I'm nervous/excited about having a vote in the awards for this season! I've decided to make an Excel spreadsheet for each category and give points after stakes races. That should help me keep track of everyone!

The races this Saturday aren't great, but there have been some awesome performances at Taupo so far today. Check out Bonniegirl in particular, but I also loved all of the first three home in race two.

And the next race there is for three-year-old fillies - four of them are last-start winners, and three of them are undefeated! Really excited about this one.

Darci's Dream? Wasn't expecting that. But she was impressive! Looks like she's improved a lot since her 2yo year.

Have only watched two of the races so far and - of course - not in order. .

Far Fetched (!!!) That was wonderful to see and wow... Golan Express was flying at the end!

The other one was - oh geez I have blanked out on his name.... race 2 with the Council horse and the nice finish (and you're right... all three)!

Good luck and safe travles to Silent Achiever, by the way (just watched the video on the nzracing site).

Yeah, Far Fetched was brilliant. So good to see her come back so well.

Ended up being a busy day yesterday! My boss asked me to watch the Taupo races and just write articles for any races that were good enough to warrant it - I wrote a lot of articles!
