Katie is confirmed.

I read that Wall Street is headed to the Windsor Park Plate.
Any idea who else is? |
#44
|

|

Yeah Wall Street is, and he'll renew his battle with Keep The Peace.
Here is the list of entries for that race, which is on September 18: Keep The Peace Vosne Romanee Veloce Bella Wall Street Hold It Harvey (AUS) Fritzy Boy Illuminates (AUS) My Keepsake Time Keeper Eileen Dubh Booming St Germaine Bulginbaah Pennacchio Arlington (AUS) Firebolt Very nice group. |

Jesus that is some list. There are only 10 that i like there.
I've forgotten... was Vosne Romanee Horse of the Year? |
#46
|
||||
|
||||
Yeah, he beat Katie by 12 votes I think it was. I probably would have voted for Katie, but I'm not complaining that he won. He won three G1s last season against great fields.
The step up to the mile will be good for him in this race, and a drier track would help him as well. |

One more question... how good is He's Remarkable?
|
#48
|
||||
|

VERY good! Roger James said he could be the best horse he's had since Zonda, which is...wow.
Here's his debut on Wednesday: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xer...markable_sport Also have a look at these two, if you have time: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xer...andready_sport http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xer...-secrecy_sport I think we have some nice 3yos this season! |

I'm a bit disappointed. She has a few excuses - it was her first start since March and she looked a bit fat; there was a bit of a bias towards leaders; there was some rain on the day and the track might have been a bit wetter than she liked - but I was hoping for better. Hope she improves a lot between now and her next start. |

She will.
|
#52
|
||||
|

She was 3rd in her first start last season...
Maybe she's like Youmzain and needs a while to get going. |

How good does Antonio Lombardo look?
Oh and Upsala is still running, right? Thanks! |

Antonio Lombardo looks pretty good, but his stablemate Alvesta beat him by six lengths on debut and Peter McKay says "Alvesta's in another class". Alvesta is going to Sydney for his next start. I think Antonio Lombardo is being aimed at some of the big races here between January and April.
Upsala is still running. He's 25-1 at the moment for the 2000 Guineas. Fields are confirmed for the second big day at Hastings this Saturday...

Stupid question but is Dating undefeated?

Almost. She's 3-for-4. She came 4th in her first start after missing the break, and has won 3 in a row since then - the last one was a stakes race.
She is actually the favourite at the moment for the Gold Trail at $4.20, just ahead of Banchee at $5. Wall Street is the favourite for the Windsor Park Plate. Sounds like the track is drying out nicely down there today - it's a sunny, warm and windy day. |
