  What an awesome mare, she traveled so strongly throughout. I knew she was a massive favourite for you guys but seeing the tv pictures from Australia, with people watching on the big screens at 3 or 4 AM, made me realise just how much you guys love her. Bet you were a touch worried when Nolen dropped his hands 50yds out though !!

  Yeah, know what you mean, they can do that to you sometimes!

  I'm in tears most times I bet on a horse(donkeys generally). Ascot was a great spectacle, but alas not much "wonga" coming my way.

  Yes, Nolan (the jockey) stopped riding her when he thought she had the race won.

  He nearly made the biggest mistake in horse racing history...lol

  I'm not a betting man anymore, but love to watch the big races down here and to see great horses like Black Caviar run a race.

  Those people was watching the big screens they setup in the City... I felt for them, It was the coldest night we've had and very wet.
