Friday Fill In

Not a great deal to report, although River Spirit came fifth at Bath yesterday, the heavy going provided by the English turf on the day not really suiting her. But she's a fighter, and with a great team behind her that I have every confidence in, she'll almost certainly be a winner before the year is out...

In Japan, True Motion is back at the Miho Training Centre, with a JRA race lined up for the middle of the Tokyo-Fuchu era, while Tenshinramman runs there in the 9R with Masami Matsuoka. I'm looking forward to this, as it's the first time 'Tenny' will face the track with a fresh jockey onboard, which is a long overdue experiment. Divine Daughter runs there in the 2R on the 1st June with Teruo Eda in the saddle. Looking a bit further ahead, Irish Harp should be challenging a 1700m dirt race at Hakodate on the 14th June, with Ryoya Kosaki already booked for the ride. Meanwhile, Harmony Fair has moved to the newly-opened Okumura Stables.

On the NAR front, Monsoon Trough has passed her gate test and takes the race ability test on the 10th. Ironically, Beat The Border retakes hers on the 7th, as she's been out of action for a while. Then, in the week beginning the 16th, Phosphorus is back out again at his home track. I love this horse!
