Red Nose Day

Tenshinramman has been withdrawn from the Nakayama race and sent off for an R&R session - apparently she has a nosebleed, and it must be a pretty heavy one to warrant a major rest. This can mean one of several things, but reading between the lines, knowing the way these things happen with Thoroughbreds, it's not a good sign for the future. She was about the only Carrot Club horse that stood any realistic chance of winning this year, assuming she could regain her form one way or another. But that's it! Well, at least the trainer won't have to make any awkward decisions on the jockey.

Glint Moment and Joyful Step are still pissing about doing a level of so-called training that 'Jaguar' does for a warm-up. The sooner someone comes clean and states once and for all that these will never make racehorses the better.

Not very good news on the Shadai Group front either, with Beat The Border showing stress in her right front leg. X-rays have shown no bone damage, so that's something. Let's hope she is able to go back in training soon. Meanwhile, Divine Daughter won't be able to race this weekend, but at least the horse has a positive attitude now, and that's something to build on in the future.
