It will be remembered that Irish Harp has been shipped off to Hokkaido to race now. Her trip from Ritto TC apparently went without a hiccup, and she looks the part up north already. There are plans to race her on the 14th in a 1700m dirt race for 3yo fillies without a win under their belt. She's a classy horse, so stands a good chance of shining on the day.
It was a pleasure watching Louis and Sophie with Alpha today, the kids braving the chilly wind and sporadic showers to ride a Thoroughbred they have very little experience with. Sophie is definitely a Thoroughbred girl, so the search for 'Bugatti' continues in earnest. There are two TBs in the upcoming Hokkaido auction that interest me, but Louis will have to ride them first and judge their size before one of them - if any - comes south to Chiba.
