Looks like Waller is going to ship VE to Paris for the Arc in October.
If she makes the gate, I will be making the trip to Longchamp.

i have a sneaky suspicion she'll get an absolute touch up over 2400m at what i assume are WFA conditions against elite european horses

Almost made it to the Arc a dozen years ago, but trip was cancelled. Never been to Longchamp. This year is the race’s 100th edition, and if VE makes the gate, win-or-lose I can’t find a better excuse to fly over to Paris for the weekend.

Great-great finish to the Lightning Stakes at Flemington just now. J-Mac jumps off defending champ Nature Strip — currently ranked world’s best sprinter — to get aboard Waller’s new star Home Affairs. Photo-finish. J-Mac is killing it at Flemington, again.

That was a great watch on Saturday.
La Crique looks hard to beat in the NZ Derby after beating a very nice field. Needs a new Jock as Pay the Bills got suspended and isn't appealing.

@hooroo Vinnie Colgan has the ride
When was that confirmed? I was having a beer yesterday with Simon. Vinnies wife hadn't got back to him at that stage?

Fairly low level...

VE wins the Chipping Norton, her 2nd, and now 11 G1s. Well done. Close finish. Held my breath.

Shouldn't have won. Just fucking refuses to be passed.
What a horse

At the 100 I thought she’d she get swamped for sure, but she’s just so tough, refuses to fold.

@Hooroo well done Polly on the weekend, I assuming you will be happy with that run with all that weight and fresh up? Played a great part in my trifecta too

It's funny! I've never been happier to not win a race. Kylie and I were chuffed to bits with that. McDonald just cuddled her up and rode her hands and heels.
The last thing we wanted was a gut buster fresh up, especially when she was giving away 7 and 8 kg's to the next weight. To run second so well is perfect. She now goes on to defend her Epona stakes in two Saturdays.
Pulled up well.
We are looking at going over for the night to watch her now borders with Aussie are open.

So Polly Grey is being backed up this weekend into the Group 1 Coolmore.
Super Exciting but I'm super realistic too. Different gravy, group 1's.
Just the fact that she has shown enough to warrant a place in a field (with wet track) is thrilling.

Go Pol Pol!
Our mare has her first Aussie start on Saturday too. She's been slightly renamed to "I Need You Now" but she should measure up in R7 at Menangle (provided the track recovers from last weekend's flooding).
We also have the current favourite for a Group 2 at Alexandra Park in a few weeks so that's nice.

Krone won last year in a very similar field and it's not like that is one of the top horses in Australia. Every fucking chance even at that distance.
