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...

[_ed_]

I'm starting to wonder too. I'll give him one more chance to prove he's still got it.

Nigelissima will be fine. Just a pulled muscle.

Exciting photo finish in the first of the day at Ellerslie! Six lengths back to third.

Whoa, Avisto and Volkstok'n'barrell were so impressive today. Especially Volkstok.

I just watched that one... VERY nice!

Also just read your piece in the Informant and am so happy there are big plans for Soriano especially!

(Noms for the Livamol are crazy good)!

Almost had a heart attack cause when I looked at the NZ Racing site and seeing a Sangster win pic! I mean that was a truly nice 2nd behind The Cleaner on Friday night but I thought well wait did he go home and race again already (and win!)?!

Ha, I noticed that as well! But that was a really nice race for him behind The Cleaner. I hope he does win another one soon.

Wow, I'm getting to write about so many great horses in my preview articles for this week's newspaper - Puccini, Stratocaster, Fix, Silent Achiever, Bounding... I can't believe I'm getting paid to do it!
