Good for Southern Lord. How did he look? Will catch replay over the weekend.
I still haven't looked to see where my girl finished... |

Southern Lord was great! He stormed down the outside. Brilliant performance, and a well-deserved win.
Park Princess was scratched after refusing to go into the gate. |

Wow that is some field!!!!!
I was trying to figure out around how many G1 winners were there and blanked out on Fritzy... Had he won one a long time ago? Rooting for Mufhasa of course but will be happy for about half of them should they win (especially Veyron). (Lady Kipling still doesn't have a G1 win... or does she)? |
#85
|
||||
|
||||
G1 winners in the field are...
Mufhasa (x10) Veyron (x4) Fritzy Boy (x1 - yep, the 2008 Challenge Stakes!) Guiseppina (x1) Lady Kipling hasn't won one yet. She's won three G2s and has been placed in three G1s. Zennista and Jetset Lad have also been G1-placed. |

Final Touch deserved that - such an underrated mare. Great performances by Mufhasa and Lady Kipling too. Veyron had a rough trip.
If you get the chance, watch the replay of the Concorde from Ellerslie - WOW. |
#87
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of catching up to do on my end but yes, I will.
Good for Final Touch. Mufhasa doesn't need to prove himself every time. Oh Veyron... |
#88

Love the way they changed the site! Very nice!
Good luck to Shez Sinsational and Bruce at Te Rapa and oh! The Hombre should be able to win that one (Awapuni), no? Is it a confidence builder or do I just not know anyone else in the field?! Would be thrilled to see him win! (It's been a while). |
#89
|
||||
|
||||
Yeah, the site looks pretty good! Still finding my way around it, but it seems better.
Shez Sinsational wins again! Naturally. And it was so good to see Annie finally win a big one! She's had a second in a G2, two thirds in G2s, and two fourths in G1s. So she deserved her Gold Cup win. |
#90
|
||||
|
||||
Good for her! No idea why but I thought she ha a G1 win.
Riccarton on Friday... the incident with the cones? How does that even happen? When is the next big (aka Mufhasa )race, ed? Hey how is Pinzaara????? |

Pinzaara's going well! She's had three starts this campaign for a second (beaten a NOSE), a close fourth and a nice third yesterday (at Ellerslie!). Really proud of her. Not sure what the plan is for Mufhasa at the moment. He hasn't been entered for the big sprint handicaps coming up - he would just have to carry too much weight. So they'll stick to weight-for-age races. The Waikato Sprint in early February (which he's already won twice!) is the obvious one, but I'm not sure what he'll do between now and then. |

Awesome about your girl an thanks for the update.
I just saw Mufhasas name in the Manawatu Challenge Stakes this weekend (along with BTE, Final Touch and Fritzy)... is that definite? |
#93
|
||||
|
||||
Forgot to mention but last time I checked on I'mabayboy this is what it said...
2012-04-06 jumped awk - post race vet lame r/f leg ...but this has been added... Spell 51 weeks. Doesn't that seem like a long time? Not to be horrible here but everything I've heard about Macau... well I am sorry he's there. Let's just leave it at that. |
#94
|
||||
|
||||
Oh, you're right! It definitely looks like Mufhasa's running in this race. Awesome! And it's WFA, so it looks like a great spot for him.
Wow, that does sound like a long break for Imabayboy. Poor guy. |

When you can please tell me your thoughts on Open ‘N’ Shut.
Haven't yet watched the replay but he sounds like a good one! |
#96
|
||||
|
||||
Veyron (awww)!
|
#97
|
||||
|
||||
Looked like he was having fun!
"... but the King, King Mufhasa, he raced away! It's all Mufhasa In the Challenge..." |
#98
|
||||
|
||||
That was amazing! It was a good field, but he made it look so easy. That's 20 career wins. Good to see a strong effort by Better Than Ever too.
Open 'N' Shut looks good! He's won four out of six now. I still haven't seen his latest one, but he's shown a lot of ability in his previous starts. |
#99

Yes nice to see BTE!
I'm going to be away but I see that The Hombre is running on the 26th and have to wish him well of course. (Are you going to Ellerslie that day? If so I'm very jealous)! Good luck to The Terminator who I don't think has won in a pretty long time and to Brave Centaur and Oak Park in their race. Oh my God the Zabeel Classic!!!!! What a great field! Good luck to Shez Sinsational, Veyron and about half the field. Wish I were going! |

Yep, I'll definitely be at Ellerslie for that. And again on New Year's Day - SEVEN stakes races. Can't wait.
