He was! Very nice to see him win and hey... next time for Tomorrowland.

Good luck to Habibi today!

I was just watching some of the trials now that the video is up... Arezzo, who I do not recall hearing about ever, looked really good! Went back to watch his one race...do you know anything about him? Was he injured?

Of course I had to watch Ryan Mark again.... what a nice win that was. Cannot be sad Tomorrowland didn't do it...

That was really disappointing. No one seems to be able to explain it.

She's SO much better than that.

I must admit I've watched the replay of Mongolian Khan's Caulfield Cup win quite a few times now.

Yeah, that was surprising.

No idea if you ever saw the replay of Habibi winning the NZ Derby... even her record leading up to it... just a brilliant winner and that field has produced so many G1 winners. Just heartsick watching her and thinking about what should have been. Expected a lot more from Interpol as well.

Aaah well. Nice to see you posting here, Casp.

Nice fields shaping up for Ellerslie on Saturday. Will you be going, ed?

Cardus if you are lurking the final is called the Davis Funerals 1600. If that doesn't get you to post some insult, nothing will.

Casp, you should play Friday night. NZ racing is addicting. Very exciting runners!

Yeah, I'll be at Ellerslie. It's looking like being a really nice field for the Soliloquy. Can Secret Spirit win her fifth stakes in a row? This will be her first one on a dry track, so it will be interesting to see how she handles it.

Let Her Rip, Mime and No More Tears were all very good last time they raced too.

It'll be a bit of a busy day for me. My boss will be at the Cox Plate, so I'll be covering the G1 day at Trentham and the two stakes races at Riccarton as well.

Wow you WILL be busy and whoa... outstanding field for the Windsor Park Plate!

(Love the name, Shesachoux, by the way. Oh wow Blood Brothah is 10? Sorry just having a time warp here... ).

What a nice debut win by Sultan Of Swing. Donna says he could be a Derby horse, and she would know - trainer of Habibi (1st 2013 Derby), Rising Romance (2nd 2014) and Volkstok'n'barrell (2nd 2015).

I needed something to make me feel better after what happened to Chop Chop. Thank you, Dragon Dancer.

Oh, wow, Xtravagant. That was stunning. Reminded me of his brother He's Remarkable.

Not today for Secret Spirit, but a brave third. No More Tears too good today!

Oh no.

I am numb hearing this. Poor girl. THis is stupid but hers was always one of my favorite names...

Some days this sport just sucks.

Will watch Illuminati et al on replays tomorrow. Sad for you that you were there, ed.

Julinsky Prince! That was nuts! Loved your piece and loved the race, especially the "where are the big guns?!" line haha!

An eye catching run from Shuka indeed (wow) but oh that was just great to see! I am still stunned.

So sad about Chop Chop so it's good to watch a horse like him getting a fantastic win and will watch Dragon Dancer, No More Tears et al soon.

I played Turn Me Loose and, while I have not yet watched the replay, am very happy he showed what he's got.

Oh I am dying here! How beautiful is this? Thanks so much for posting. A grand beginning to the day seeing something so extraordinarily lovely.

Good luck to every single horse in r1 (it's a small field ) and to Saint Emilion on Saturday and oh I just looked at the other track and wow nice Gold Cup field!

Was thrilled to read your Nashville piece in the Informant just now. God I do love him so.

Congrats to Ms. Pinzaara and please continue to post pics if you are able. How is Archie these days? Hope he is healthy and happy!

Nice one by Kawi!

Man I feel bad for Authentic Paddy. What a tough horse he is. Great for Blathwayt but wow does he ever have heart.

Agree with both of those comments.

Kawi was just amazing. I don't know if there are any sprinter-milers in NZ at the moment that can beat him.

What the... why didn't I know about the great races on Tuesday?

Okay I am completely confused. First of all I hate it when horses get taken down and I am a fan of Spoke to Carlo and it's not cause Soriano is one of my all time favorites (I think I have had my Soriano avatar for even longer than Bullish Luck! ). BUT come on, he wasn't taken down? For THAT? And then if you watch the replay and listen the announcer says a different result from the way it's listed (Vavasour 2nd?). Confused! Man poor Soriano that SUCKED. Nice for Consensus and all but...

Great fields for the weekend especially the 2000 Guineas (who are you liking there, Ed? Kinda rooting for Serena Miss and TJL but oh so many nice kids here!_. Good luck to Antonio in his race as well as Locket, Blood Brothah and Jimmy Mac... and... TOMORROWLAND!

A shame about Tim Bell. Poor kid. So sorry for everyone who knew him.
