  1. Talking about nearly curtains. Went out to pull down the cover on the aviary. It was fairly dark as I reached up and pulled...what turned out to be the tail of a snake. My hearts racing but it was a beautiful python. Called in my neighbour Muzz who breeds snakes to rescue it.

     I note also that they came the last 200m in a relatively slow time, which probably says more about the quality of the horses than anything else

    They came home the last 200m slower because they ran the last 600m sub 33.5, Maria Farina 31.86. I don't know how accurate these times are as top class horses usually run 33 or so last 600m times. I have wondered for a while about these sectional times. noting that they occur often on the all weather tracks. There they run a slow first part of the race, running home strongly last 600m. By the way, Legarto ran 33.47 last 600m at Pukekoke on a G4 track in the Eight Carat Classic, 33.01 in the NZ 1000 Guineas (S5), 34.46 in the Soliloquy Stakes (G4).
