Can't Complain

You can always rely on Tosaki-kun to deliver the goods. He himself is saying he blew the start, but he still came fourth, and a close fourth at that. Who knows, this could be a combination to watch in the future - Tosaki-kun certainly has confidence in Single Cask, and is quite sure that had he got a decent start, he'd have won. Not to worry. At least today we saw a horse with heart ridden by a jockey with the determination to win, and that's all you can ask for...

On the joba front, Jaguar was in fine form today, giving Louis and Sophie a lot of enjoyment as he effortlessly blasted around the outer track. We also have a new technique to get him to move quicker after he's been tacked up - we walk him around 50 yards before mounting up, and that way, he comes out of his dozing mode and is ready to go. There can be few horses on the planet with so many habits to overcome, but what a brilliant way for the kids to learn true horsemanship!
Ultimately, I wouldn't change him for the world.
