The following horse entered in the 45th Japan Cup arrived in Japan and was transported straight to Tokyo Racecourse, arriving at the international stables at 21:55 yesterday. Comments from the connections and exercise conducted this morning are as follows.
<At Tokyo Racecourse>
- walked 5 laps and jogged 2 laps left-handed, walked 2 laps, jogged 2 laps and walked 4 laps right-handed on the dirt exercise track around the international stables with accompanied horse (Le Nomade)
(exercised from 7:32 to 8:10, ridden by Jeremy Lobel)
“It took us 27 hours to get here from our stables via Frankfurt. Calandagan’s condition is no different from when he was at home—he’s doing well so far, and his weight hasn’t changed either.
Since he’s with his stable mate, he was calm in his workout this morning despite being in a new atmosphere.
We will decide on his training menu after discussing it with our trainer and of course it will also depend on the colt’s condition. He may do a light canter tomorrow.”
