Anyone else keeping an eye on Ruud Awakening, the NZ filly? I'm hoping she can overcome that horrible barrier (18).

damn, $3.5 million purse for 2yo's going 6 furlongs.
I'll be traveling but I hope I'll be able to watch this.
It looks like there's going to be a prohibitive favorite in Overreach.

Ruud Awakening - I've got to root for any horse named after a pro rasslin' finishing move.

When do these horses turn 3 down under?
July 1st?

They already have plenty of races under their belts for juveniles.

August 1st they turn three in the southern hemisphere.

This year's Slipper will likely be run on a wet track. Has been fairly dry in the lead up to the race so most horses are unknown in the wet
