A bit of a quiet day on Saturday, most of the top horses are waiting for Boxing Day.

Couple of G3s down at Awapuni though, and the 2000 Guineas-placed Il Quello Veloce is in the second of those. Should win too.

He was 2nd in the Newmarket, really good effort actually. He was in an early speed duel, and the winner had a perfect trip just in behind them. The time was just over 1:08, not far off the track record.

Oh what a beautiful picture!

Goodbye, good girl. Thanks for the memories.

I have a really stupid question for you, ed.

Why is Turffontein running in the Telegraph Handicap under the name Lord Turffontein? I mean is there a reason?

Who else is pointed? I know that TT is out but never had a clue who else was possible.

There's a horse registered in NZ with the same name, so they had to change it. It's something NZ horses often have to do when they go over to Australia (my favourite was when they changed a horse called Jetski to Jetskiwi).

There are some nice horses going to that race - Mufhasa, Il Quello Veloce, Altered Image, Ruud Van Slaats, Fully Fledged, and a young horse called Coup Align - he's had 7 starts for 5 wins, all of those in a row this season. He won his last one by 6 lengths in 1:08.4. He hasn't beaten much so far, but exciting horse anyway.

I could kill Sir Slick for his performances in Australia...

Where did that come from?
