FUNABASHI FUN
I spent Monday and Tuesday at Funabashi Keiba, but for some reason, the whole thing is a blur! I think the huge crowds and packed programme of activities planned by the jockeys and trainers kept things moving at a fast pace on the first day, as well as an enjoyable hour or so acting as a guide for friends, while I was running around like a headless chicken on the second day. In the end, it felt like I didn't take that many pictures, but it ended up at 600, and a selection of them have been posted on my Facebook page. This one shows rookie jockey Taisuke Kisanuki in action on Tuesday, when the light was absolutely perfect for photography. Good luck, Taisuke!
