They say every cloud has a silver lining. Well, we may have had one of the blackest, most overcast race days in our Carrot Club history, with good horses unable to show their potential for all sorts of reasons that would never be allowed to surface outside JRA circles, but at least Louis and 'Bugatti' had a super day in the Prefecture Inter-City Tournament at Tomisato, close to Narita Airport. Before lunch, he was second with 61.110 in the A1 category for his team, in which he was up against a couple of friends from Funabashi Keiba, making it all the more interesting. Then, in the afternoon, he braved the pouring rain and foggy conditions to take gold with a 60.734 in the private A2 Class, which is exceptional given that 'Bugatti' is still so new to the dressage game. A ray of sunshine that made the early start worthwhile...
