I think I'd want Antonio Lombardo for 2YO... I agree of course on Jimmy and Mufhasa... Wall Street too (but boy those 3 in the midle distance category are all exceptional).
I love Bruce and Harris soooo much but am a little surprised to see them here(!!!)... STAYER: Bruce Almighty Harris Tweed Showcause Titch I'd say Titch and then Jimmy for HOY of course. Looking at these names... these were some of the best horses and races of the past year. Wow you guys have some incredible horses over there. NZ racing needs a press agent or something!

Wow, I had a HUGE surprise today. I went to the Ruakaka races, expecting it to be a quiet little day...
After the second race, all of these horses came out and did a public workout - Keep The Peace, Roi d'Jeu, My Scotsgrey, Showcause and Mufhasa!  Mufhasa looked amazing. He wanted to go so much faster. He had his head right down all the way around the track, lunging forward with each stride. I think Sam Spratt would have had sore arms afterwards!

Second... you will be doing a 2011 / 2012 thread right? Third... ed is this THE Bulginbaah??? The old man??? I love him! I mean I seriously doubt he'd beat the kids here but he's a nice boy and isn't he kinda campaigned in the opposite manner of our good Sir Slick? Is this him or a horsie with a very similar named?

It's the same Bulginbaah. He's 11 years old now! He's had 90 starts for 22 wins, 16 seconds and 11 thirds.
He has run in this race, the Foxbridge Plate, in each of the last five years. These have been his results in the Foxbridge: 1st, 1st, 4th, 2nd (by a nose), 1st. Great old horse. I will do a 2011-12 thread! I should start that soon actually.

Fritzy was brilliant - so easy! Nice efforts by Fleur de Lune and Smoulder to be 2nd and 3rd. I thought Katie looked fat before the race, and I think she just didn't quite have the fitness today. She was right in it until halfway down the stretch, when she hit a wall. It was an off track as well, and she's never liked those. She'll be better next time. The news about Bulginbaah isn't good.  He didn't run well, and he looked a bit sore after the race. It sounds like he's probably going to be retired. That's not official yet, but I think this is the end of a great and very long career.

"... but away goes Fritzy Boy!"
 So awesome to see him show how good he is! Poor katie... next time! As far as the old man... last time I couldn't find a full result it was Arakti so I'll be happy to see this one retire cause the alternative... well... Hope he's feeling okay today. Thank God racing is starting up again over there!  New thread! New thread!
