The Crap Continues

Ettie Hart runs today at Salisbury, with Million Ways out on the 5th at Funabashi. Other than that, there's nothing much happening. Looking at the Carrot Club reports, War Chronicle, Perfumer, Rush Attack and Massabielle should all be retired, as none of them are strong enough - mentally or physically - to be true racehorses. They are simply a drain on resources that offer nothing in terms of ownership, which I'm starting to believe is the case with most Japanese horses. How they got that way, particularly in the case of Massabielle, is a question that should be addressed, but it never will be, for this is Japan we're talking about...

PS. At least Ettie put in a nice run, finishing second by a neck. It was also announced that Lillyput will be entered in a race at Yarmouth on Thursday. Then we have Million Ways and Masterson on Friday, and Infinity Love on Sunday. Larressingle should be out the week after - we'll have to see how it goes, for despite what the Carrot report states, the loss was not from marking (as in blocking, which is all too common out here), and can be put down to a jockey miss if anything; the only marking was when he went off line and bumped another horse, while the winner flew past fair and square down the outside, a full 0.5 seconds faster over the last 3F.
