Pegasus 9

Him and his Dad were = to the best, that I have witnessed race in the flesh.
[I didn't see Frankel or Secretariat, other than on TV] 

Who can forget that Australian cup win , had a will to win that few horses have . A gorgeous example of the thoroughbred . One of my all time favorite racehorses .

RIP Lonhro. A Champion and one of the best looking racehorse and stallion.

Sad news he was one of the best of my lifetime.😭

Looks like a bit of the kick back from the Ellerslie track .

Paul Wilcox should leave his ivory tower for a few hours and stroll to the nearest bowling and golf clubs and get FREE advice on how to grow and maintain grass. He would learn more from them than the so called "experts" on racecourse turf management.

She had a very hard run in the Vinery. Winter spell and another great campaign in the spring.

Its being reported now one of the victims was John Singletons daughter just 25 years old with her whole life ahead of her...such a senseless crime and a beautiful life senselessly cut short... A great racing man and thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this sad sad time. RIP Dawn.

Just a quick thank you to the Race Cafe team for running these competitions. To SNS for his great work. Best of luck to the finalists.

Congrats to team Rough Habit. Well done. And thanks to the rest of my team Sunline. We put up a good fight but condition just gave out in the end. Thanks to all concerned with running the comp. A lot of fun over the weeks.

Sorry Team. Bit of a slow start to the day for me. Congrats Rough Habit

They are not machines she has done a super job...lets hope not one run to many.

Sad news undoubted superstar...wish her well in her future as a Mum.

Well said Dave

Some cynical buggers on here……
We all know Debbie Kepitis, along with the Tighe and Treweeke families, owned Winx and are now $27m better off because of it.
The attachment to the mare is obvious, and she was quoted as saying they did not intend to bid on the filly, but in recent weeks the family had realised how strong that attachment was, and the likelihood of her going overseas prompted the change of mind.
I think it is brilliant she put her hand up to keep her in Australia. Winx had already lost her first foal by I am Invincible which almost cost her life, and there was no guarantee she would have another one. ( Good news today that she is in foal to Snitzel  ) 
Woppit Bloodstock and Chris Waller will handle her as they did Winx. Whether she attains heights anywhere near Mum, time will tell, but even so the opportunity to carry on the bloodline down the track was no doubt another reason to keep her in Australia.
Good on them.Wish them all the best whichever way it goes.

 

Why be so negative...good on her it was her horse she decided to put HER money up to buy it..so what.

Well done to DK. I hope the filly turns out be a good one.
It turned out to be an auction to dissolve a partnership in the filly, by the look of it.  

So glad she is staying with Debbie and woppit, congratulations 

Debbie Kepitis and Woppit Bloodstock……brilliant…..👏

Well first of all hats off to the Randwick track staff for providing a racing surface that nobody expected after the overnight flooding .....it was a brilliant effort and a safe racing surface.
The racing was great as well and there wasn't a dry eye on course when that grand old trainer Les Bridge won the Donny with the wonderful grey Celestial Legend who will win many more races.
The Derby was a case of 'Hats off to JMac' as his ride won the race on Riff Rocket as the runner-up Pericles with Blake Shinn on top circumnavigating the field as JMac sliced through the middle like a skilled surgeon and it won him the race.  Plus it was the great Kiwi expat Chris Wallers first Derby which completes the set for him.
As for the Group one Sires Stakes for the 2yo's ......well that was Jason Collett at his absolute best ....waiting waiting waiting and then BANG he got up on the well supported Manaal 11/2 and proved the fillies are a smidgeon better than the colts this year. 
The disappointment was the fav Storm Boy  but the writing was on the wall after the Slipper that his 2yo campaign was on 'wobbly' legs and I made him the 'lay of the day' as 2yo's will tell you when the green light has gone to amber which he did on Slipper day but as he was valued at $40 Mill they really wanted a group one with him but it was a case of going to the well once too often.
The TJ Smith was also a great race with another grey Chain Of Lightning upsetting the favs with a rail hugging Damian Lane special which proved she was up to group one company on soft tracks.  I thought I Wish I Win was excellent and only peaked on his run the last 50mtrs which also showed he is a true race horse after two horrible trials leading in. He only turns up on race day like good horses do.
Imperatriz was also excellent and finished her campaign in style running a very game 4th. She certainly didn't shirk the task and after an interrupted run and many horses would have turned it up .....but she was coming back again at the post. A truly champion mare who will be back at Randwick for the Everest in the Spring.
So now we look forward to Oaks and Queen Elizabeth day next Sat and Orchestral can hopefully prove her worth by going out in style. Interesting to see James Cummings saving his filly for a re-match rather than taking on the boys in the Derby......another great race day awaits us.
FF.

James should have kept that up his sleeve. But eagle eye observers had probably noticed anyway.
