Ryan Moore came home third with Rush Attack this morning, leaving me on the 22 wins marker. To be fair, the hot pace probably didn't suit him, and although we started as favourite, the top three finishers were the three most fancied in the betting - even the third favourite held odds of 4.5:1! Until Phosphorus challenges Urawa, about the only other news of note is Kalliopeia arriving at Miho Training Centre, meaning the imminent start of another racing career...
PS. Having been able to study the Rush Attack race, it was the poor exit from the gate that blew things. The finish, however, was probably even more devastating than the debut one - boy, has this horse got some speed! Moving up to 1800m would probably be a good idea, but there's no doubt this particular pony has got what it takes.
