A quick #Website #Update ahead of the New Zealand 2,000 Guineas tonight... Interesting race ahead, my gut feeling is that both of mine need to improve, but my horses have been known to do that...

An interesting horse I think ahead of the New Zealand 2,000 Guineas this weekend, my horses could only managed 5th last week in the 1,000gns at best, I am learning plenty whatever happens this is the 1st year I have tried to take them out..

Well if this horse going round in the Kiwi Guineas turns out to be a classic winner at some point people cannot say the pedigree did not warn them... Interesting prospect it will be interesting to see how she goes...

The Crown Oaks in Victoria on Thursday morning, can my website take the strike rate to 75%, she's gone round 8 times & only been out the first 3 once, I am hoping the step up in trip can see her gain her 1st pattern race victory in the classic...

Can Observer go two 2 places better in the Derby than in in the Guineas, time will tell... I think if he does connections will be delighted dam full sister to Pierro & by Ghaiyyath they will have a Too Darn Hot in Broadsiding and a Ghaiyyath as well..

Interesting horse this ahead of the Japanese St Leger this weekend the dam is a dual classic winner & she has already foaled a winner of the last leg of the fillies triple crown out there a bit to find on form I think, but form is temporary and class is permanent...

I have been screwed in the first 2 Victorian Classics, my horse beat the winner of the Caulfield Guineas by 8l in the Golden Rose, they never let it run, tonight the same thing happens with my first three choices for the Thousand Guineas...

Ever wondered what the sire line of Black Caviar would do when bred with damline of Snitzel? Well wonder no more, a bit like the one last week, in no way my 1st choice for the race and it will either be good enough or it won't...

@newmanrepcic.bsky.social

Interesting horse this one I think, it definitely sneaked up on me around the 5th or the 6th dam, although it does seem to lack a top rated jumps horse, the highest rated one I could find was a 162 rated on RPR chaser...

1st classic of the Classic Watch 26 cycle this upcoming weekend, the Caulfield Guineas yes it is galling to identify the best horse see it win a Group 1 a fortnight before the classic & the horse not line up, people can only play the hands they are dealt as best they can...

Final video, some interesting pedigrees in those races and hopefully the ones I would rather win win.. Is there a classic winner in any of them, well at the top of their pedigree certainly.. Not sure we have seen one in the first race where mine was 3rd..

A good time to binge on US 2yos five Group 1 races this weekend...Two down five to go, some interesting horses in the first two, but none that make me think "I can stop looking now, nothing will beat this" and that does happen sometimes until proven otherwise lol...

Nice horse this, if he were to turn up in the Japanese St. Leger his third classic appearance of the season he would be well worth his place in the line up as well as having a video on the great site.. Very historically sound horse...
