Pop Label is doing a great deal of harder training right now, which would tend to point towards him being ready for his move to Funabashi. The early entries in Hokkaido were magnificent, including a victory in the Breeder's Gold Junior Cup race at Monbetsu, but the heavy schedule on a young horse took its toll, and the beast was put in recovery mode for winter. He seems to be back in form again now, though, and following patterns to give an idea of timing, could well be where he belongs at MK Stable within the next three or four weeks. Hopefully he can then slowly rebuild a remarkable race record. I'd be watching for him to excel as a four-year old...
