Really good win, she's an awesome little mare.

Replay here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dpCYi0uXSA

They're going to the G1 Auckland Cup with her now, and I think she's a big chance for that. She's already proven she can go 2 miles (3rd in the G3 NZ Cup in November).

He could be a good chance, it's not a very strong field.

The 2yo race is very good though. I'm hoping Shuttleworth does it for the Moroneys.

Oh, and Vickezzchardonnay came 4th in the Auckland Cup.

I guess so! He must still be getting tired though, this was his 91st race.

What do you think, ed? If you owned him would you retire? After the way he ran..... I think I'd just make sure to keep him at home and let him run again (shocked I'm saying that but he was fantastic!).

Poor baby... hope NDJ is alright...

Wish Xcellent would update his diary!

He was fantastic, but I think he's done enough. The owners of Princess Coup said she was suffering from "wear and tear", and she had 33 starts. He's had 3 times that many, surely he must be feeling the effects of it.

And yeah, I hope NDJ is back 100% fit again soon.

did that bastard Sir Slick win again?

He couldn't get close to a placing in Oz, and then goes back home and starts racking up wins.

Jockey Troy Harris has been disqualified for 3 months for cannabis use...stupid thing for him to do, but I think the penalty is a bit inconsistent.

Last year, Darryl Bradley called the sponsors of a 3-race series with a $100,000 bonus to a horse that could win all 3 races the day before the third race (Fritzy Boy had won the first two). He asked them if there was something in it for him if he could ensure that Fritzy Boy didn't win. His penalty? 3 months.

Are they really equal offences? I don't think so.
