THUMBS UP FOR LNH 
Lourdes No Hitomi performed admirably today, coming fifth, just 0.4 seconds down on the winner, and with the second fastest 3F time. According to the jockey, Miura Kosei, Lourdes-chan felt like a real racehorse for the first time today, meaning she now understands what her job is! What's more, Kosei-san feels the distance is right for her - 2100m on dirt. The future is starting to look bright for this beauty...

PS. Having studied the video, I can safely say I'm looking forward to Lourdes-chan's next race, as she looked remarkably strong. The trainer has recently said she's in even better condition now, and with the racing spirit finally ignited, she could be one to watch out for in the win-place-show frame.
