Monsoon Weather

Monsoon Trough is definitely going to run on Wednesday (2nd July) in the 1700m Fresh Challenge race at Monbetsu. This is the 5R, just before 5pm, and there are eight horses entered. Wearing no.2, our girl - the only filly in the race - will be handled by the highly-experienced Fuyuki Igarashi, who rode Agua De Vida in her early days. We wish them both luck in this important debut race!

Meanwhile, in Britain, hopefully River Spirit will run in the 4:20 at Warwick on the 4th July, and Porthos Du Vallon should be out at Beverley on the same day. Race tactics are to be revised to suit Porthos' cheek pieces, and hopefully the jockey's saddle will stay where it's supposed to this time, as it slipped quite badly during the last race.
