I've been wanting to write a few things down - honest! - but the downloading sessions for the new Mercedes book have tied up the computer for the last few days. When servers are talking to each other nicely and PCs are playing the game, experience tells me it's best to make the most of it while the going is good. Still, working like mad until just after lunch allowed me to get finished and go to Tokoro in the afternoon (Jaguar has an infection in an insect bite, though, so no outing for him today). It also keeps tomorrow clear for a trip to Tokyo that I'm very much looking forward to - a rare combination of business and pleasure...
The Carrot Club newbies were confirmed in the post today, so there are now officially 20 racers in the Long stable - 16 JRA runners, and four destined for NAR duties. Keeping track of them in a language I can understand is what this blog is all about, and hopefully you enjoy them with me.
Tenshinramman has just had her next race muted as being on either the 14th or the 21st October (both Tokyo fixtures). If it's the 14th, that's the same day as Mistoffellees makes his debut at Tokyo. Another trip to the capital in the offing?
One of the things I picked up at Tokoro today is the latest copy of Poco Poco. Inside, there's an article on Yuta Sato (who we profiled last month), eating noodles as usual, and an advert from Shadai TC for the remaining shares in Mejiro Venus' foul (number 82 at the bottom of the page). The last time I heard there were only three shares left, but having checked the website today, I see all the shares have now been sold, probably thanks to Poco Poco. Then, on the last inside page, we have an advert for the Tokoro shop with a picture of Louis beaming like a Cheshire Cat in his journalistic debut. Poco Poco is one of those wonderful enthusiast publications in which a lot of nice people do an awful lot of work for very little pay. Please support it to ensure it continues.
