    • wll i've tried getting on the hrnz website for a look at todays form with horse profiles and recent videos,but it hasn't worked all morning. its just  reflects poorly on hrnz.
    • Yep, your right Gamma, The Galahs first post explained it well.    Seems a strange concept indeed, but one things for sure, for $720k stakes for the day, it will be the worse fields of horses lining up, with the exception of a few. I suppose it shows you need to spend money on a stallion generally speaking. Saying that, good luck today, no doubt some will get a good run and get a good cheque…. but from a punters view, gonna sit back and watch mostly. Surprised the many hotpot’s especially from the draw, can see a few getting rolled. 
    • What was the name of that top sprinter he rode in the 80s or 90s… used to fly home?
    • White Smoke (f, 2, Essential Quality–Mira Alta, by Curlin), whose barn already celebrated when first-time starter Golden Tempo (Curlin) was named a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', after winning the third race on the card in New Orleans, was backed by the betting public as the 8-5 choice for her unveiling here. The filly was left at the gate by the field, which put her at a distinct disadvantage up the backstretch. Seemingly out of it around the far turn, the 2-year-old was able to get back into the race by chewing up ground and at the quarter pole she positioned herself to make a run down the center of the course. The gray took aim at new leader Gerber Daisy (Twirling Candy), collared her target by the sixteenth marker and completed the remarkable trip with a length victory. Hailing from an extended female family which includes champion 3-year-old filly Stellar Wind (Curlin), the winner is a half-sister to War Stopper (Declaration of War), GSP, $242,806, Wicked Awesome (Awesome Again), SW & GSP, $294,460 and Promise Keeper (Constitution), GSW, $457,610. A half-sister to GISW Great Hunter (Aptitude), plus the dam of MGSW Owendale (Into Mischief) and GSW Shred the Gnar (Into Mischief), unraced Mira Alta is also responsible for a yearling colt by Flightline who was sent to Japan this year, and a weanling filly by that same sire. She was bred to Nyquist for next season. White Smoke is the 19th winner for her freshman sire (by Tapit). 4th-Fair Grounds, $55,000, Msw, 12-20, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:11.04, ft, 1 length. WHITE SMOKE, f, 2, Essential Quality–Mira Alta, by Curlin Sales History: $500,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,000.
