HARMONY FAIR V1
Just got back from watching Harmony Fair on the big screen at Nakayama. Wish I'd have dragged myself across to Tokyo-Fuchu now, as the little darling won! And not only did she win, she did it in impressive style, too, completing the last three furlongs in 33.6 seconds, which is quite remarkable for such a petite two-year old filly...

Starting off third favourite (she was second favourite for a time, until she had a wild moment in the paddock), Masayoshi Ebina calmed her down and did a great job of guiding her round, staying close to the rails after a splendid launch from the gates. Somehow he found a gap on the inside, and 'Harmony' (fittingly wearing #1) blasted past the favourite in what became a two-horse race. She won by a head as Hiruno Qualia weakened at the end, with the rest of pack over three lengths behind.
