Single Cask was a poor seventh, having made all the pace from the start, while Tenshinramman was frankly dreadful from start to finish, coming home - eventually - a full 2.8 seconds off the pace. To wait for months simply to make up the numbers is not only extremely disappointing, it's a waste of everyone's time and money...
PS. It's definitely time for Tenshinramman to retire, judging by the jockey report. Maruyama stated that her flanks were weak, and that's after three-and-a-half months of waiting and supposedly preparing her to race. Well, enough of being patient - if that's the best the trainer can do, then it's time to throw in the towel. The conviction behind that statement is made even stronger by the fact that the trainer couldn't even be bothered to add his own comments to the report!
