Regarding the JRA horses, Dinner Bell is indeed lined up for the 1200m turf race at Fukushima on the 6th, and Joyful Step is due to run within the next couple of weeks. Miracle Rouge has gone on holiday, although the statement on future race timing is an odd one: "If summer is too hard on her, we can look at the autumn." But surely she will have to retire if she hasn't won by the end of summer? At least a few of the other trainers are realizing that time is running out, with True Motion moving in the right direction, and Belle Plage following Irish Harp's lead by being shipped off to Hakodate to try a new campaign in Hokkaido. As for Glint Moment, I still can't believe it's only just starting its training programme this late in the season.
On the NAR front, Phos-kun (Shadai TC) should be out at the next Funabashi meeting, while Beat The Border (Sunday TC) is scheduled to run at TCK again at the end of the month. Things don't look so good with Monsoon Trough, though, and I just keep waiting for news to come through. That long-awaited debut that I'd been praying for now seems so trivial in the circumstances...
