New Zealand Racing, 2011-12

[_ed_]

Wow, some surprises on the big day at Te Rapa today.

So close, but so far for Mufhasa. Everything went wrong for him today. He had a terrible trip. But he fought so hard down the stretch anyway! Congrats to the terrific Veyron.

Shez Sinsational won the International very nicely from Harvey and a fast-finishing Rock 'n' Pop - excellent Derby prep from him.

Zurella was strong in the fillies' race. She might be going to the Derby too - looks like a big group of girls taking on the colts and geldings in the big one this year.
