THIRD TIME LUCKY? 
I sure hope so, because today's race results were pretty naff to say the least - a seventh for Lourdes No Hitomi, which probably wasn't far off expectations, but a seriously disappointing tenth for Miracle Rouge. She finished way off the pace having started sixth favourite.

According to the jockey, Lourdes No Hitomi still hasn't matured as a racehorse yet, either mentally or physically, but she's not a bad horse according to the guy in the saddle, so there is still hope there. With Miracle Rouge, she was running well until the third turn, and then there was a strange lack of response when asked to pick up the pace. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed that she was just having an off-day (springtime?), and that Mosto Verde does better in his debut tomorrow...
