Nakkered

Well, fifth sounds OK, but the margin on the four horses before Single Cask at Nakayama this morning was too big to be happy with the result, especially as it was such a short race. Tosaki-kun got out of the gate well, but there was no energy there to keep him in touch with the leading bunch. More proper training is the only way forward, along with more race experience. But then you can say that about all the JRA horses...

On a similar subject, Belle Plage is back at the Miho Training Centre, but she's so full of race rust, I doubt whether she'll do any good for a long while. I hope I'm wrong, because her record shows she has the potential to be a winner.

PS. Beat The Boarder has picked up a minor injury, having pulled a muscle, and is now off for some R&R until training can resume.
