Popping Along

Went across to Tokyo's TCK track last night to watch Pop Label in the main race. Although he came fifth, it was an admirable performance, not only because of the incredibly stiff opposition he faced up to, but also because he's still not 100% perfect - everyone has been treading lightly with his training to make sure the injury that laid him up for so long is completely cured. As such, I think we can look forward to a super 2015 season with him, by which time he will be running with Yuta Sato's new stables and Funabashi's Taito Mori (who rode him with expert hands last night) will be his regular jockey.

On the subject of TCK, Beat The Boarder is back there now, so we can expect a race entry for her soon. Meanwhile, in Ireland, Danielle's Journey is due to make her debut at Down Royal on either the 31st October or the 1st November, which should be an exciting meeting for all concerned. Good luck, DJ!
