paid very nice here too.

 Tri 7 - 3 - 14   82.10

might have to send off a case of saki.

Matt, I have nothing whatsoever to do with camera angles. All shots are covered in relation to the Japanese caller. Having said that there does seem to be some International conspiracy by directors to show angles they think looks impressive but of no value to the punter. I never see what you see anyway. As you know i have enought trouble through my binoculars.
Glad to hear some got a piece of the pie.......Tri here paid about $30....... 

   Ys i understand that, it was just an in general whinge.

I read the filly could be aimed at the Arc.

She has obviously got plenty on that field, so why did he get so far back and nearly butcher it like the one that was butchered in Singapore last week.

Her racing style is a slow start, go back and settle and then fly over last 600 or 400m. The jock said he got it wrong, almost, and will try and ride her a little closer next time. She is heading to the Arc so we will see if they keep the veteran jockey onboard. That was his 20th G1 and first Oaks.

One of the biggest races on Japanese calendar Sunday, the Japanese Derby. The favourite has a good record in this and while this year's fave has drawn the outside gate I still think he has a finshing burst good enough to win this. My numbers 18 Unrivaled, 2 Apres Un Reve, 16 Triumph March. I will be including a few in trifectas to fight out for 3rd including 13 at big odds with 11, 12, 1 and 3.

Yasuda Kinen News
Posted by Michele Cullen

    Armada and Sight Winner, Hong Kong’s two contestants in the 59th Yasuda Kinen, continue to thrive in Japan having switched to Tokyo racecourse, the scene of the fourth and final leg of the Asian Mile Challenge on Sunday.
    John Size was typically hands-on as both his charges prepared for the US$1.89m event at the Fuchu track with the trainer riding Sight Winner, successful last time out in the Champions Mile, and Eric Lin on Armada, runner-up in this race 12 months ago.   The work for both horses was very gentle.
    Size admitted that a look at the record showed Armada to be in better shape last year, at least when it came to races in Hong Kong and attributed a sub-par performance in the Champions Mile to the wet track on the day.
     “But,” the trainer said, “the horse improved after arriving in Japan last year and this year as well, so things are looking good in that respect. He has settled in very well and has regained what small weight he lost in transit.”
    As for Sight Winner, Size said “everything came together” when a surprise victor in the Champions Mile in April and the trainer was keen to point out that result was not a one-off occurrence.
     “He can go well here if he can settle just off the pace. Regardless of the draw, the horse was likely to take up a spot in fourth or fifth position. He takes his racing very well and he will give a good account of himself at the weekend.”
     News on the home-based runners continues to centre on Deep Sky and Vodka and both are reportedly working well.
    A possible outsider to note is Laurel Guerreiro, eighth in the Hong Kong Sprint in December. His breakthrough victory came most recently in the Takamatsunomiya Kinen, one of only two Gr.1 sprints on the Japanese calendar, and is expected to bid for a wire-to-wire success in the Yasuda.
      The 5-year-old has also turned in good performances over the Tokyo mile, including a second-place finish in the G1 NHK Mile Cup when he was three.

The G1 Yasuda Kinen is race 11 at Tokyo on Sunday.

I am having a boxed tri that should pay heaps if it gets up.  1, 3, 4, 18.

I'm leaving out Deep Sky and Super Hornet but I've been wrong before.

Not very adventurous but 6/3,13 trifecta looks good to me 

That was a win that was.

you would've been reaching for a vodka if you were on her though   but shes a racehorse

Didn't know what to back in that so I looked at the jockey and went with Y Take because I can,so now I'll have a vodka

Great win.

Would've won by 3+ given a better passage in the straight.

The commentator said he'd keep his ears peeled after the race.  

Sometimes you hear commentators say as in a bunched finish "I don't where to look"

If ever there was a reason to say that it was at about the furlong (or maybe a little more) when I reckon there must have been any eight who could have been in front, with one way out wide.
