Phosphorus is indeed out again on the 19th, racing in the 3R (1500m) with Kota Motohashi in the saddle - something to look forward to. As Yano-sensei says: "If he gets out the gate and concentrates, he should win." Even if he doesn't, I know for a fact that it won't be from a lack of trying - the NAR spirit is based on pride.
At the other end of the scale, having finished work for the day - a tough session going through hundreds of pages of parts books - I thought I'd check up on my old horses that Carrot Club and the JRA trainers could do nothing with, but are now running in NAR. Here we go: Mosto Verde 2-6-1 from nine races, Quick Bread 2-7-3 from 16, and Lourdes No Hitomi 1-0-2 from four. Yes, it's obvious they were all useless. Oh, hold on! That's a lot of wins and top three places. In fact, between them, from 29 races, they only finished outside the top three on five occasions. Something is wrong somewhere, isn't it?
