Little Spark

Kota Motohashi saddled up on Phosphorus at a sodden Kawasaki tonight, and of 14 horses, drew gate 14! He overcame that unfortunate draw with a great start and a super position until the third corner, and then Phos-kun seemed to object to the wet dirt as Kota went to the inside. Ultimately, the pair had a bad line at the end, getting penned in, and came home in fifth. At least there was a spark of the old Phosphorus, and I hope today's race will set him up nicely for the next Funabashi meeting...
