No Tokyo races again today, meaning no run for Miracle Rouge. If the snow is as bad as it is here in my neck of the woods, a bit to the east of the track, then it's the right decision to cancel the meeting. Who would have thought you could hold the Winter Olympics in sun-soaked Chiba? We have palm trees! Except you can't see then under the six inches of snow at the moment...
PS. With luck, Miracle Rouge should be able to have that race on the 17th, although I believe all horses will have to be re-registered, despite the two Mondays (starting today) being allocated to make up the missing days over the weekend. And that snow - closer to eight inches, and up to my knees in places where it had drifted. The weight of the snow even brought a neighbour's carport crashing down!
