Yesterday morning, I had a delivery to make at Funabashi race track, and was introduced to the kindest, most docile two-year old I've ever seen. The trainer is concerned she might not have what it takes to be a racer - that fire that makes a great Thoroughbred - and I can see why he is scratching his head in wonder, but what a beautiful horse nonetheless.
On the subject of great Thoroughbreds, Million Keys has passed his race proficiency test and will start his career at Monbetsu after a short break; Irish Harp has gone on holiday for a bit, and Blacklister ran at Brighton with Charlie Bishop in the saddle. Unfortunately, the luckless colt lost a shoe and cruised home in fourth, but at least he'd shown early speed, and soon we can get the longer distances he needs. Next up, Beat The Boarder with Shun Ishizaki...
