Perfumer is still in trouble, now moving even further away from its base stable to another Northern Farm facility. Well, I suppose there are that many JRA horses being kept at NF, it could be a lack of space, but with this particular nag, it's hardly ever been race fit in its entire career - one lucky win, and now owners are paying out month after month to hear a sob story. This horse has never been any good, and for the sake of its health, it should have been retired ages ago.
On the subject of retirement, Infinity Love put in a performance that was even worse than expected, on a par with the Million Ways debacle. The new trainer gave it a shot and, indeed, an improvement was seen when he had the horse in his own care, but under Yahagi it was useless, and the spell at NF has put it back in that category. I fully expect that 16th place - and a distant 16th at that, being a full 2.4 seconds off the pace - to be the final nail in the coffin.
