I woke up this morning to find that Masterson had ran well in the 2:50 at Brighton yesterday. Teaming up with Paddy Pilley, he came a fine second - a fair bit behind the firm favourite, but a good way ahead of the third-placed nag. This will allow a fair handicap to be applied to the horse, whilst giving us a pleasing result at the same time.
After Rush Attack runs on the 8th at Sapporo in a 2000m turf race with Kosei Miura in the saddle, we have plenty more UK action coming up, with Blacklister entered for the 7:20 at Windsor on the 10th, or the 2:50 at Salisbury on the 12th - both races being over a mile. Salisbury looks the most likely.
Gandvik was pulled out of the Haydock race on the 6th, but is being lined up for the six-furlong 5:30 at Ffos Las on the 11th instead, or maybe the 2:20 at Salisbury on the following day, also over 6f; the 2:25 at Salisbury on the 13th has also been added as a possibility. Back to Japan after that, with Beat The Boarder at TCK on the 14th, and Irish Harp in JRA action on either the 15th or 16th.
PS. The Ffos Las race has been abandoned, leaving one of the two Salisbury dates for Gandvik, while Blacklister picked up a bruised foot in training so will now miss out on racing this week.
