Most of today was spent at a fast canter - Sophie blasting around the outside of Tokoro with 'Jaguar' after a lengthy warming-up period, then Louis jumping with 'Heart' (pictured) in the afternoon. I have a feeling Mephisto Waltz ran his race at a canter, too, although not quite as quick as the one 'Jaguar' was doing! I honestly believe that 'The Difficult One' - despite his age - would have done a better job on the track today. Let's face it, he has won four JRA races in the past, and his muscle tone is still pretty damned good. He'd need to lose a bit of weight to be back in winning form, but I reckon he'd show Mephisto Waltz a clean set of horseshoes as he stands.
