A BIG WEEKEND 
A nice gentle stroll in the countryside for 'Jaguar' today, as he has a busy weekend ahead of him, featuring a Dressage competition with Louis, followed by a gymkhana with Sophie. Louis is also making his show-jumping debut with Tokoro's youngster, 'Heart' - that should be fun...

Meanwhile, Tenshinramman looks unlikely to run in The Oaks. The poor thing lost a huge 10kg overnight, just before the race, drew the outside gate, and yet still put up a magnificent performance. But the bottom line is, she was pipped at the post for the third place she needed, and rather than hold out on hope that she'll get a berth in this classic, the trainer is now thinking of aiming for the St Leger with her. Fingers crossed she shows the world what she's capable of in the autumn.

Mosto Verde has been confirmed for a Sunday outing now - the opener at Tokyo-Fuchu on the 28th, which is a 1400m dirt race, with Hideaki Tsumura in the saddle. Also, Lourdes No Hitomi is booked for a 2100m dirt race at Tokyo on the 4th of May (the 3R, with Miura Kosei as jockey); Mistoffelees should be running in the following week.
