Wow very exciting stuff!!! Lucky you... must have been great!

Two questions... why was Sir scratched and is Monaco Consul okay? That was pretty surprising to see him last.

[_ed_]

Sir Slick I think had an elevated temperature on the morning of the race. I think he's back to full health again now.

No one really knows what happened to Monaco Consul. He didn't look good in a gallop with Prince Of Wales a couple of days before the race either. Hopefully the trainers can figure out what the problem is and fix it!

Another great day on Jan 1...

[my miss storm cat]

Sad to see the field for the Railway without Wasted Emotions. Poor guy.

Good luck to Katie (who needs no luck !!!), to her sister of course, to our good Sir Slick (wonder how The Pooka will do in that one), Mufhasa just because and Red Ruler (who I think wins) and Spin Around (who I like) in the City of Auckland which is a really nice field!

Good for her!

Do you happen to remember a horse named Van Persie? Just curious ed... he's Soviet Pearl now and runs in HK tonight.

He looked pretty nice in September and October (2 good Class 3 wins back to back) but then lost 3 in a row (was 5th twice, 6th once).

Anyway just wondering. Nice horse... I think he'll get better and better.

[_ed_]

Yeah, good to see Bound To Impress win one! Her mother would be proud.

I don't remember Van Persie. I looked him up, and he raced down south, so I never saw him run. He had 3 starts in NZ for a win, a 2nd and a 3rd. He ran against some good horses in that time, like G2-placed Late Addition.

Big day down at Trentham tomorrow.

I think Cellarmaster is the best 2yo in the country at the moment, and he should be hard to beat here.

Good luck to Red Ruler , She Rules, Sacramento and Atapi (oh and Mufhasa just because).

(Red Ruler / Awesome Planet in the Trentham Stakes )

Is Nacho Man scratched?

[_ed_]

He is. I think he's made it into the field for next week's Karaka Million, so they're going there instead.

Good field, but because it's restricted to horses purchased at Karaka, I think it's missing NZ's three best 2yos at the moment - Cellarmaster, Jimmy Choux and Lion Tamer.

I like Irish Jewel, Nacho Man and Banchee here.
