Weekend Races

Luckily, both Harmony Fair and Tenshinramman have made the cut for their races scheduled for the 10th. Both of tomorrow's turf runs had been oversubscribed, the 'Harmony' one particularly so. Anyway, 'Harmony' will run in the Niigata 9R (1400m) with Teruo Eda in the saddle, while 'Tenny' takes to the track in the next race there (1800m) with 'Kacchi' Tanaka - her regular partner in crime - at the controls.

There are thoughts of running Lourdes No Hitomi in the 2400m dirt race at Hakodate on the 24th, and Miracle Rouge is being lined up for a 2000m turf run at Niigata on the following day. These dates have to be confirmed, but True Motion's outing at Niigata on the 24th has been penned in in ink. Keita Tosaki has been booked as the jockey for the 2R (1800m turf), which is good news, as I have great admiration for him. As it happens, I secured one of his trophies in the charity auction at Funabashi a couple of days ago!
