Blacklister raced in the 12:10 at Lingfield today, keeping the UK campaign in motion, but sadly couldn't deliver the goods (a race is booked for the 23rd, too, so hopefully we can get some revenge then), and War Chronicle has been pencilled in for the 20th at NAR's Nagoya track. It's a class field in the 1600m 10R, and - of course - we have the outside gate! This will be a test for War Chronicle...
Pretty Gully should be out in Australia at the same time as Irish Harp tackles JRA's Tokyo track - I'm hoping the jockey can prove me wrong on my opinion of him in the sixth race on the 21st. Two days later, the fifth race at Kochi is my annual support race for the track, and in the evening Pop Label teams up with Mori-kun in the TCK 11R. Still with TCK, Beat The Boarder runs in the 6R on the 27th. At least we've got a few out and about.
PS. A rough start for War Chronicle finished her chance against the firm favourite (betting at evens!), but a strong second at least put a few pennies in the bank. The only problem is its a bad result as far as her career goes - another win was needed to put her back in JRA racing. I guess she could always stay in NAR, which would suit me anyway.
