Our NAR filly gets to take her test today - an official stamp of approval that will enable her to run at Kawasaki, where she's based, and the other NAR tracks. I have my fingers crossed that she'll make it through - at least the people looking after her and riding her are top class, so she already has that in her favour. However, you'll probably know quicker than me if she passed, as my mobile is an antique version without internet set up on it. As I said before, you're talking to Mr Analogue himself here! I shall be disappearing to the Tokyo-Oi track for the day, and therefore isolated from the IT world...

On the subject on internet, we seem to be able to pull in over 100 visitors a day to the blog with ease nowadays. Yesterday, we had our first person from the Philippines tuning in, which I would lay odds is a jockey friend of
mine living out there - will have to check on that later.
We've also had visitors from Vietnam now.
Did anyone see 'Wild Boy' Yoshimura on the TV last night, taking on Kosei Miura on the track? Ignoring the handicap, which stretched to seven seconds (35 lengths) in the end, Yoshimura did a brilliant job, showing a very high level of control and race awareness considering the short time he had to train (about three months solid). All good fun, and great exposure for the sport we love, too! Everyone from the programme was surprised by the speeds involved.
