November 23, 2015 (Monday)

<At Tokyo Racecourse>

Erupt (IRE, C3, by bay)

Departed quarantine stables at 11:10
Arrived at Tokyo Racecourse at 12:55

“Everything went smoothly during the trip from the quarantine stables. He looks relaxed and seems to like it here. Tomorrow he’ll just do a light canter and will probably do some fast work on Wednesday.”

(comments taken from Anthony David)

Ito (GER, C4, bay)

Departed quarantine stables at 11:40
Arrived at Tokyo Racecourse at 13:23

“The transportation from Shiroi went well. The trainer will arrive and check on the horse Wednesday afternoon, and he will then decide when the horse will do his fast work. That means the colt will not gallop before Thursday. I need to get in touch with the trainer to decide on his work menu for tomorrow morning.”

Nightflower (IRE, F3, chestnut)

Departed quarantine stables at 11:40
Arrived at Tokyo Racecourse at 13:23

“The trip from the quarantine stables was no problem for her and she is very relaxed. She did some strong work yesterday, but I haven’t received any instructions yet from the trainer about when her fast work here at Tokyo will be. She’ll just do a light canter tomorrow.”
