That was the best performance by a 3yo in NZ so far this season, and by a long way.

Very nice from Darci's Dream at Riccarton. She's a lot better than I thought she was!

That's not good! Annoying. Hopefully the rest will be put up soon.

I hope so. You know where you click on the results for a specific race and it says overview / dividends / video? Strange how the video part is completely missing!

I did just watch O'Marilyn and WOW. That was a gutsy ride from Sam!

Also watched Darci's Dream and a few others (was going to say Chumana's race but I suppose I should remember it from the winner, Victoryshallbemine, instead of her awesome blaze, huh? ).

Surprised to see Amun Ra running against older horses at Matamata but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Hope he does well. I really do hope he ends up being all that!

That is a bit surprising, but when I talked to the trainer last week he said he needed to give the horse another run before the Hawke's Bay Guineas on October 4 - his plans were messed around by the cancellation of the trials last week.

The rest of the replays seem to be there now.

They are and thanks. Watched most of them... beautiful win by Pure Champion and, of course, I Do was great but that was really nice to see Soriano with such a great run (too)!

Lovely fields for the 3yo stakes races at Ellerslie on Saturday! I just hope the track dries out a bit.

Looks like fun!

Great noms for the Livamol Classic (!!!), just watched the Amun Ra race (which I really should call Busta's race... nice win for him. Disappointed though although he did break awkwardly, huh?), shame about Nigelissima... not a career ending injury though, right?

What do you think, ed... has Veyron had enough now? Starting to wonder...
