I still get chills watching this one (and oh how it makes me miss both Eye Popper and good old Lincoln).

Some field with those two AND Hat Trick, Daiwa Major, Balance of Game, Company, Cosmo Bulk et al, wasn't it?

Vincennes withdrawn... too early for picks but I'm hoping that One and Only (my insanely early Japan Cup prediction pick) runs a good one and, for some nonsensical reason, I have had Toho Jackal in my head for the past 24 hours (no not literally ).

Looking like a fantastic field... can't wait.

Am wondering if they ask the connections for the worst possible comments...

Talk about brimming with confidence!

Ocean Blue (7yo, horse)
Yasutoshi Ikee (trainer)

“Never mind how he worked, he’s got so many issues back at the stable that he can’t condition himself.”

Okaaay.
