- I Wish I Win closed in four sub-11 sec 200m splits in finishing second to Coolangatta in the G1 Lightning @FlemingtonVRC of 10.6-10.47-10.26-10.91. Last 800m in 42.24, 600 in 31.64, 400 in 21.17 and 200 in 10.91. That's fair flying 🔥 @WaikatoStud @moodyracingpgm
- Ok, so a little news ... I have written and published a new book. It's a history of Group One racing in New Zealand, done my way. I've launched a website too: elitebook.co.nz I'm hoping it will be available for delivery in August 🤞 Hardcover, 360 pages. #Elite
- Opie Bosson acknowledged on track @TeRapaRacing for 2000 New Zealand wins, alongside wife @Em_April and their children Max and Honor.

00:00 - Champion sprinter Imperatriz enjoys a roll after 30 mins in the surf today. @TAB_Racing @TeAkauRacing @BenGleeson7
00:00 - Word I'm getting is that @BazMcCullum's IPL bat and naming rights for it sold for $12,000 at tonight's Rebecca Black Trust fundraiser.
- How's this for a jockey booking? B Grylls to ride Bear Gryls in Saturday's G3 Waikato Cup @TeRapaRacing @TAB_Racing

- Elephant beaten for the first time ... but at the hands of an All-Star Mile runner-up. Super prospect. And what about the run of The Chosen One. Cups contender again.
- Small but pretty cool milestone at Ruakaka yesterday as Dancarina's win brought up 500 wins as a jockey/agent partnership for @opie_bosson and me, 41 of them at G1 level.
- So good, Pennyweka! Becomes the third NZ filly to win a G1 in Australia this season after Legarto & Prowess. Wins the Australian Oaks for trainer Jim Wallace and the 86-strong ownership group. Great result!
- Missed a Derby on Saturday but got to play at my first touch nationals for Counties 50s, the same tournament at Palmerston North as my oldest son Hamish, who represented Waikato u20s mixed and gets his first NZ singlet in May.
- So good. Congrats to @opie_bosson and the @TeAkauRacing team behind Imperatriz. New Zealand's world-class sprinter.
