Weekenders

J'ai Un Reve will not be running after all, which I must say I'm happy about. What on Earth is a horse full of Montjeu blood doing in a dirt race? Meanwhile, Perfumer is going for an R&R session, but at least it has been earned, as that was a tough race given the travel and boggy track. As for those that will run at the weekend, Miracle Rouge has been confirmed for the 2400m 8R at Tokyo-Fuchu on Saturday, with Tanabe-san taking the reins, and Eclat De Reve teams up with Ebina-san in the Hanshin 3R over a mile of turf on Sunday.

Looking further ahead, Pop Label is due to run at Funabashi with Yoshihara-kun (who won on Perfumer the other day) on the 17th, Irish Harp is hoping to run at Hakodate on the 21st (Rush Attack's trainer is also thinking of a Hokkaido campaign), and Massabielle should be out at Tokyo on the same day with Tosaki-kun in the saddle for a 2400m turf race. Although the season has finished for our Irish horses, we might have something out in England or Australia by then, too, so watch this space...
