Japan racing, 2013-14

From looks in the paddock, I like the #1 in the 8th.

Amazing how many people go to the races over there.. Wow!

By the way, did you see the size of the #12 in the 7th? He looked huge!

Oh! and I will not be up to see the Cup.. It's past my fort time now

Good luck with your wagers girl!

Training Report of Foreign Entries
Japan Autumn International
The 14th Japan Cup Dirt (G1)

November 24, 2013 (Sunday)

<At Hanshin Racecourse>

Weather: Fine
Going: Standard (dirt course)

Pants on Fire (USA, H5, dark bay or brown)

- jogged 700m, cantered 200m, galloped 1,000m, cantered 400m, jogged 400m (dirt course)
(exercised from 7:25 to 7:32, ridden by Benjamin Winnett)

"This morning he did a gallop from 1,000 meters out and stronger in the last 200. The horse is in very good condition and I'm happy with the time he clocked. It's a right-handed course but he ran smoothly along the rails and the track is no problem for him so far. He's come out of his training very well, and as usual, we hand-walked him for about 10 minutes afterwards to cool him down. I have to check with our trainer about his training from tomorrow on, but we will probably give him a break and just hand-walk him tomorrow. The jockey won't be riding the horse until the race, but he is a reliable expert and is in contact with our trainer all the time. The course and facilities here at Hanshin are excellent and we truly appreciate the hospitality shown to us by everyone here."
