WIND STOPS PLAY
Well, it makes a change from rain, I guess! We were hoping the morning winds would die down, but instead they just got worse. At least Jaguar and Tenn-chan got a cookie feast and a loving hug, but there was certainly no chance to enjoy riding in today's wild conditions...

This month's copy of Eclipse was waiting in the postbox when I got home, carrying a couple of pictures of Harmony Fair during and after winning her first race, as well as other images of Mistoffelees and Miracle Rouge.

As well as updates on all the yearlings, the magazine also included an interesting article by Noriko Abe on Kawashima-sensei's MK Stable at Funabashi, which should serve as an example for others to follow.
