Ummm...

Harmony Fair was a disappointing tenth at Tokyo-Fuchu today - never really looking as if  she was ever going to trouble even the midfielders. As usual, excuses abound, with the only part of the post-race report that rang true being that Harmony is better suited to turf than dirt. Well, that's always been a known fact. I honestly don't know why on Earth this horse is still being kept on the Carrot Club books, as it's simply a waste of time and money.

At least Belle Plage put in a good solid performance, coming fifth in another Black Type race. I don't think we could have asked for more on the day, and look forward to the next outing. The third entrant today - Danielle's Journey - was declared a non-runner due to concerns over the going. She might still run at Sligo on Wednesday, though.

The kids did well enough, especially considering that 'Bugatti' was not particularly co-operative today, picking up a very close second and a third. Sophie's blue ribbon yesterday means three podium finishes and a couple of nice trophies for the weekend's work.
