If there's one thing in life you can guarantee, it's that the Yamazaki family will look after their horses properly and will try everything possible to develop a winner in a caring manner. According to the latest report, Agua De Vida (pictured here) is looking good for a Kawasaki run at the end of the month, complete with a new bit and maybe blinkers.

Yamazaki-san makes me laugh when he writes about the dirt course at the Kawasaki training centre, because, if you know the place, you wonder what the options are. But on that piece of land close to the river, and in the other NAR facilities dotted around the country, the NAR boys - and girls - do their very best in conditions that are a long, long way from perfect, and I respect that immensely. Long live NAR!
