Monday News Update

The race Tenshinramman is supposed to be running in on the 25th is - surprise, surprise - oversubscribed. Given her awful results in her last two outings, the chances of getting special treatment any more are remote, so it's down to the luck of the draw.

In other JRA news, the trainer is aiming to run Miracle Rouge at Tokyo-Fuchu in February. I like this horse, and I'm also looking forward to seeing Mistoffelees back in action again soon. 'Misto' at least ran a great race after his poor exit from the gate last time out - his eighth would have possibly been a win had he not given the leaders a 50-yard head start.

On the NAR side of things, Phosphorus is booked for his second outing at Funabashi in the w/b 10th February, and in England, the Avonbridge Filly (pictured) is coming along nicely. She has a good temperament, eats well, and has taken to her training programme well. Watch this space!
