Huge

It has been announced that Shine Tiara will be stabled with Yuya Yamazaki at Kawasaki, which is nice, as I like Yuya a lot - he's a good guy. Trovao should run at TCK in early October, as soon as the condition lost during the long trip from Hokkaido has been recovered. And on the JRA front, Kalliopeia has a last chance shot on Saturday in the 4R at Nakayama, but the big news is Massabielle's G2 run at Hanshin on Sunday. Teaming up with Tosaki-kun for the 2400m 11R, which is a qualifier for the Japanese St Leger. This is a huge test for this horse, as the competition is naturally stiff at this level, and we all want to have a 'classic' runner. Fingers crossed!

PS. Not the best of starts to the 'classic' campaign with an outside (15 of 15) gate draw... Not surprised, as I seem to get the outside on what seems like every other race! Meanwhile, Blacklister runs at Epsom on the same day with Silvestre De Sousa in the saddle. In NAR news, Pop Label looks to be going to stables at TCK, which will help it get entries on a clockwise track, and Beat The Boarder is booked for the 6R at TCK on the 2nd October.
