Sha Tin is in HK, not Japan.

I thought the plan all along had been to bring Take over for the Belmont.....

You're right about HK, thanks. That's what I've always read the plan to be for Casino Drive. Take is one of the top jocks in the world, has ridden quality horses at tracks all over the world, and rides for this trainer regularly. It will be exciting to see him come here to ride. Who knows, maybe attendance will go up here, too <g>

And the all weather track at Sha Tin is shorter, at 1560 meters.

As an aside, anyone know how his stablemate back home is doing?

His name is Tiger Mask (same owner) and all his $ earned goes to charity (an orphanage).

Just wondering..... it's hard finding news from the JRA at times...

Can't we reasonably expect him to show up a week or two (or more) prior and catch a few mounts and gain some experience before the big one?
