Phosphorus V5

Shun Ishizaki rode a perfect race to take Phosphorus well clear of his rivals in Kawasaki last night - his stunning power was just too much for the others to respond to as soon as the final straight appeared, despite two of them also being well-fancied and marking 'Phos' all the way round from the first corner onwards. It was an impressive performance, and a testament to the hard work that goes on behind the scenes at Yano Stables.

This was Phosphorus' fifth win so far (his record moving to 5-3-2 from 16 races), and my 27th to date. The way he improves every time he goes out, growing mentally as much as physically, has me thinking there's a lot more left in the tank yet. I have a feeling he will be the one to watch as a five-year old. Urawa next...
