NEWCOMER NEWS 
On the Carrot Club front, Agua De Vida passed her first set of NAR tests, and has more booked for next week - she's getting very close to making her debut now. Likewise, Dinner Bell is making fast progress, and will be sent to her JRA racing stable soon. Those working with her are very excited, as she's already showing a natural racing spirit. All the other kids are doing well enough, but nothing more than routine things to report at this stage...

As for the Sunday TC contenders, Pop Label, he's now passed all his tests, and should therefore be making his NAR debut at any minute. Nothing new to report on the other Sunday TC and Shadai TC newcomers at the moment, but Pop Label's rapid progress is very pleasing. Please support him!

PS. Bumped into Sunami-san at the Chiba Thoroughbred Sale, and he told me video footage was available of Pop Label's test. I've found it now, and if you want to see it, please use this link: http://movie.hokkaidokeiba.net/user-data/noken/20130514-05.asx. He's number 4.
