MOTION SICKNESS 
Feeling a little bit gutted by True Motion's result today - both the filly and Tosaki-san deserved better than the fourth place they bagged in Tokyo. Unfortunately, the positioning the jockey found himself in coming off the last corner meant there was no way to start the final sprint at the desired time, with the pair blocked on numerous occasions, all critically important from a timing point of view as they pushed for the line. I can say this for sure - after Tosaki-san had skillfully guided her to a safe zone, knowing she can fight another day in a better scenario, that was one hell of a finish (you can see it for yourself on the JRA website), and we can definitely expect some exciting racing from this special combination in the future...
