Hahahaha you're right!

So ed... does Mufhasa add the "King" part onto his name and run (3rd, as usual?! ) in the Ryder Stakes again or does he stay home?

Cool I didn't know that about Wall Street et al!

Why do I like Antonio Lombardo again? Didn't he have a really nice win?

He did have a very nice win in a G3 two starts back, and he never runs a bad race. Ana beat him last time, but he probably has the best chance of turning it around.

Hahahaha oh my God are you kidding???!!!

Yea!

I'm posting this cause I want to see it again...

...the 2010 Awapuni Gold Cup...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLuLYhjfSlI

So I'm trying to keep this straight, ed... Sir Slick has run in the last 4 editions and won three of the four?

I think Vosne Romanee is like always right there!

Good luck to him, to VR, Red Ruler, Capecover and Agamemnon.

Upsala and Atapi... not to keep torturing you with requests for updates but just a reminder... any news on these two is always appreciated!

GO SIR SLICK!

That's exactly right. And he was 2nd in a photo the other time.

But I'm sorry to say it wasn't his day today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6xaWZoxgPE

Happy for the winner. He's a really good horse who never gets the credit he deserves. That's 13 wins for him - 9 in stakes races!

I think you'll like these ones more...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85tq20QAxqo

The Ana and Antonio show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC-QeuZleE0

And is this a new star? 6 starts for 4 wins. This was her first stakes race:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ824FBU-k4

As for Atapi - I believe he's been retired.

Whoa that was really really impressive! Thanks for including this one!

Happy to know that he's probably retired. I'd say he's done enough.

THanks ed. This was another time I just wanted to hear results from you instead of trying to find them cause it's much more fun and man I am still just floored cause i thought you'd say well yeah Upsala... maybe another nice barrier trial but that's about it.

Stunned and just very happy and once again, what a joy to watch the amazing Sir Slick even if...

Ana just got her nose in front on the line. But that was a great effort by Antonio! He really impressed me.

I played it twice but it's 3:40 am here so really can't put any louder...

Barinka / Smoulder / who?

I haven't seen JImmys race yet...

Fleur de Lune was 3rd - a 3yo filly having her first try in a stakes race!

It was a surprising result, but Barinka is a very good mare, and this was a strong performance.

Banchee was 7th, but only 1.9 lengths away.

Keep The Peace is going out for a break - Shaune Ritchie thinks she must have had enough of racing for a while, just like Jimmy.

I'm still proud of Jimmy - 10 starts this season for 7 wins (3 G1). He won the Hawke's Bay Guineas, 2000 Guineas, Great Northern Guineas, Wellington Stakes, Waikato Guineas, NZ Derby and Rosehill Guineas - no horse has ever won all those races before. He was just tired today. A few months off and he'll be good as new.

At least the Derby winner was a NZ-bred, the filly Shamrocker, by O'Reilly, one of your stalwarts, from the fine old NZ family tracing to Lady Gwen.

Remember Imabayboy? He was a really good 3yo last year and ran in the Derby.

Well, he won a big race in Macau last weekend.

Catching up and I was so happy to see this but then I just heard he got injured and it sounds pretty bad poor guy.

Cannot believe the last G1 already.

Good luck Sir Slick, Banchee, Firebolt and Vonusti.
