Having been strong in the early betting, True Motion came home in fourth this morning, albeit almost eight lengths down on the winner. It's a shame that the horse's record reads 0-0-0-4, as there are two fourths in there. Anyway, at least the jockey seems happy enough with her dirt debut, even though she showed signs of not liking the sand being kicked up into her face too much, and if she can get out again quickly, before the real heat of summer sets in, she might just record a top three finish. I imagine that will be her last chance to shine, assuming the trainer gives her another run.
In England, Porthos Du Vallon is booked for the 5:30 at Musselburgh on the 27th (a Class 6 handicap over a mile). Having won his last race, a lot will be expected of the big fella. On the filly side, River Spirit has been booked for Chester on the following day. In Australia, by the way, Jo Hassett is in hospital, having been kicked by a horse. Joining all those that know the lady, I wish her a speedy recovery.
Received the pictures of Phosphorus' second win yesterday - a happy ending if ever there was one! Just got my fingers crossed now that yet another problem plonked on my desk this week turns out the same way...
