PP's for tonite, are you going to watch? I usually end up falling asleep it's so late but going to DVR it.

Did you see this: http://www.japanracing.jp/_news2008/080527-02.html

excerpt:
This year, the Japanese fans will not have a dominant favorite. The winner of the first leg of the triple crown (the Satsuki Sho) Captain Thule injured himself after leading all the way to win that race and will not be lining up on Sunday which means there is no chance of any horse winning the triple crown in 2008.

Yeah too bad about CT.

If I'm home, I'll be watching.

My favorite horse in the field won't win, but here he is anyway.

A Shin Forward...

OH MY GOD EYE POPPER RUNS TONIGHT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck my old man!

(He's in the Meguro Kinen).

[FGFan]

I saw Eye Popper in there..listed as a selection too....

I forget it's on much earlier for you.

I like a few;

Take Mikazuchi, Rainbow and I think Deep Sky looks just great.
I like Flotation too but I don't think he'll win tonite either.
Shin looks good...
I kind of pick them during all the walking....

Oh and Black Shell, Take's on him.
I didn't know CT got injured, do you know if it's bad?

I'll go with Flotation and Al Kazan. Always wondered what happened to Saratoga Dew. Curious to see how the War Emblem colt does.

It was a fracture and all I can remember off the top of my head was that it would take at least 9 months for him to return, poor boy.
