Those were fantastic, ed. Just what I needed to see.

Am I hallucinating or was that Upsala finishing 4th (???!!!)?

There is nothing like watching Sir Slick. I don't care where he finishes... it's just like being on happy pills or something and God that sounds idiotic but...

Great races.

He did! I thought you would like that. And apart from the winner (who I think is a very special horse and a future G1 winner) I thought his performance was the best in the race.

Great picture!

So in the Oaks is it just a question of who comes home behind King's Rose?

Good luck to her, to Dating, and to Annie.

(Oh to all of them).

Yeah, I think so.

The weather forecast was bad a couple of days ago, and she doesn't like wet tracks, so I was a bit worried. But it's fine down there today and the track is dry, so I think she should win.

Annie might be the hardest to beat - she's getting good at the right time.

I'm looking forward to seeing the replay.

Found the headline but I don't now where KIng's Rose finished.

Are you disappointed? Not sure if the winner was soooo good that well... just waiting to hear your take.

Sorry for the late reply - I was at my sister's birthday party last night and stayed the night at her place.

The Oaks was a messy race. There was lots of interference down the stretch, and it seemed that all the best chances got in each other's way. Dating, King's Rose and Annie Higgins were all very unlucky. The winner was well ridden and was lucky to avoid that carnage, but she did run an impressive race as well.

I'm at work now, but I'll post the replay when I get home.

Ed you're not allowed to have a life, you need to be here 24/7.

Hope you had a nice time with your sister and yeah I had wondered what happened with the race for that outcome.

Cheers to the winner, of course, but still just surprised!

Thanks, yeah, it was a really nice evening. My sister is probably my best friend as well, so I always love spending time with her.

Here's the Oaks replay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vam1TA4ND6M

Dear Jimmy,

Whilst I know the race hasn't run yet I'd like to offer my early congratulations on a spectacular win.

I love how in the close-up replay in that video you can see him put one ear up. "Is that all?"
