Replay... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhDeZaXZKaY Any thoughts on the Japan Cup Dirt? Too bad it's the final running of it. PPs... http://japanracing.jp/_news2013/pdf/131120.pdf On our flag bearer... 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." (comments taken from James Homewood)

Nah, forget the whole idea of sitting this one out...
 Looking at Brightline and Hokko Tarumae (and possibly Incantation) but it's still early. Barrier draw... http://japanracing.jp/_news2013/131129.html

Belshazzar wins...
Replay, notes, etc: http://web-cache.stream.ne.jp/web/jr...305090211&ua=4 Rearing in the gate before the start, American raider Pants On Fire partnered with Gary Stevens traveled second from last instead of his usual position towards the front. The son of Jump Start (USA, by A.P. Indy) was already losing ground rounding the last corners and showed no effort in the stretch to finish last. Kelly Breen: “He did everything right going into the race. He had a great workout. He was relaxed and I think he took to the whole trip very good. The (length of) time on the track, the time being saddled, the whole procedure for racing compared to America… he just handled it like a professional. It just wasn’t our day.” Gary Stevens: “He reared in the gate to start and ended up nosebleeding, so I couldn’t push him any further. There’s nothing to say but that we were unlucky.”
