Glint Moment continues down his path of travesty, failing his gate test. The trainer is saying he will try again next week, but I really don't see the point. This horse has been nothing like a racehorse from the day it entered training, and Carrot Club will do everyone - including themselves - a big favour by just throwing in the towel. At this late stage in the proceedings, with other horses from the same crop already being retired, what use is a nag that can't even get through the gate test? I have horses born a year later that have already got their gate certificate and are ready to tackle the next stage...
The only other piece of racing news at this point is on True Motion, who is set to run at Tokyo-Fuchu on the 21st in the 1600m dirt race. Tanabe-san is in the saddle, with thoughts of another turf run also in the background. If it goes ahead as per the current plan, this will be her dirt debut, which should at least be an interesting experience for all concerned.
