Ah yes, because timing is always the issue when a Kiwi horse actually has a shot. Meanwhile the Aussies are probably laughing at us from the TAB.

TAB prices are a joke. if she wins we still get shafted by the dividend

anyone know what time the race is actually on? got work in the morning but keen to watch if i can stay awake lol

1am Sunday morning NZT. Set an alarm mate 😂

Class isn't the question... but everything else is? Typical NZ media hyping it up so they can call it a 'brave effort' when she runs 4th.

ffs another horse story. can we talk about something that matters like the cost of living?

if you think cost of living is bad try backing a favourite at Royal Ascot. now that's a real loss

Go Joliestar!! So proud to see a NZ mare flying the flag. Get that win girl 🐎

Eva Anderson2026-06-19T19:08:00.000Z

timing is everything in sprinting. if she doesn't jump clean she's done. simple as that.

Sky Murphy2026-06-19T19:26:00.000Z

facts. seen too many hot favourites miss the kick and it's game over

Luca Reid2026-06-19T19:26:00.000Z

Yeah nah she's got the form, just hope the track is fair. Royal Ascot can be a lottery.

Peyton Hall2026-06-19T19:47:00.000Z

Anyone else put a lazy $20 on her? Fingers crossed she doesn't break my heart again

Zoe King2026-06-19T20:15:00.000Z

lol fair point. at least the horse won't leave me broke like the supermarket does
