After a vaguely pleasing run (not brilliant, but certainly a damned sight better than the last few outings), Shine Tiara was fifth on the 4th at Kawasaki, the pot for which just about covers a week and a bit of running costs on that one, and naturally doesn't touch the costs of the 16 Japanese nags doing absolutely nothing! Our only other runner is Trovao, scheduled to run on the 13th in the Japan Dirt Derby; Fumio Matoba is taking over the reins for that race, which makes Louis happy (Matoba-san being his favourite jockey), although I do feel sorry for Mar-kun myself. Anyway, fingers crossed, for it's basically our only hope. In fact, Trovao is literally our only hope in Japan right now.
PS. The post-race report on Shine Tiara was fair, and let's hope the horse can get out again at the end of the month - I need one to start paying for itself! At least it looked a lot more like a racehorse than it did during the last three outings, so maybe there's a bit of hope in this one, too? Maybe.
