You think the raiders are going to rock them?

YES! YES! YES!

Do you?

Like your new name..... :)

If so, I think Able One is the one to do it.

Did you see the Epsom Derby this morning? That was an impressive performance!!!

Didn't watch it..... memories of Horatio but I'll find a replay.

Able one is a nice, nice horse and it's cool that he has Callow up. Need to find a replay of that G1 he just won on My Royal Captain in Singapore..... one of the only Singapore horses I'm a little familiar with.

The 17th hole..... don't know if Able One can overcome that but best of luck! Any of the four win and I'll be happy. :)

Daiwa major wins, Kongo a very close 2nd..... HK boys off the board.

Love 'em anyway. Next year!

Great race!

The replay will come up here before the JRA site. Give them a couple of minutes....

Oh well, too bad for the raiders, although Good Ba Ba wasn't far back.
Don't know why Joyful Winner made such a big early move, after that it's no wonder he didn't have much left for the finish.

The Japanese camera work is really poor and disorienting. The camera keeps panning back and forth so you really don't know what is going on.

*sigh*

If you wanna watch it and hear the call in Japanese......
