Ooh, two 2yo races up at Ruakaka on Saturday, and one of them has G3 winner Girl Of My Dreams. Tempting! Especially when you add in the warmer weather, beautiful scenery, the fact my sister lives nearby... Yeah, definitely going. Love it up there.

Awards nominees: http://www.nzracing.co.nz/News/9165/...Finalists.aspx

I'll make my picks a bit nearer the time.

The big surprise is Sacred Falls missing out on any nominations. Apparently that's because he moved to Chris Waller's stable in Sydney in December, so isn't eligible. But it seems unfair that he won four stakes races here (including the G1 2000 Guineas) and doesn't get anything, while It's A Dundeel, who didn't race in NZ at all this season, has 3yo and Horse Of The Year noms!

Also, I was looking through the list of mares that were sent to Jimmy Choux in his first season at stud last spring. One of them was Sheila Cheval - dam of Mufhasa!

That's nuts!

As an aside that is some list for Horse of the Year!

Can't wait to see your picks.

Wonderful day at Ruakaka again. Love it there! Roger James has another very nice 2-year-old filly - Dunoon.
