Beat The Boarder got hammered tonight, to an even worse extent than I'd expected. An unusual false start probably didn't help, but the ground and mud obviously didn't suit her - running her was a complete waste of time and money, as a wet TCK only suits power horses, and she's one of the lightest in the game.
From one that shouldn't have run to one that should have. Pop Label made room for TCK runners in the 8R, and two didn't make it to the start! And the heavy going would have suited him for sure. Not a happy bunny!!
On the JRA front, Irish Harp should be out again soon, while Harmony Fair is being lined up for a disaster - a horse that hates dirt being entered in an 1800m dirt race at Nakayama. Great! And it gets better. Time For Love picked up an injury that will put her out for six months. She should be retired as a result, but the plan is to get her back on the track - another waste of time and money, without doubt.
The only other news is that War Chronicle has arrived at Miho Training Centre, and will hopefully make her debut at Nakayama. Most of the others are doing lighter training than 'Bugatti'...
