Danielle's Journey was second by half a length, which, despite the fact that punters had her at Evens in the betting, is a pleasing result as far as I'm concerned. Firstly, this was only her second race, and it was also her first time outside Ireland - the long trip alone was a big test. Secondly, she was the only filly in the race, and the youngest in the field. All told, I think we can take this as another sign of having something special. Her time will come for sure...
Today, Pop Label lines up at Funabashi with Mikamoto-san back in the saddle. I'm looking up at the pictures of his three victories on my office wall, and hoping I can add another one.
