First nominated horses... The Japan Cup!

http://japanracing.jp/_news2008/pdf/081120.pdf

I think I may have to stay up for this one Stormcat, the connections for Silent Pride are good ones. I know this Jock is less known than Take but he's not a bad Jockey. Hopefully 7-1 range or higher!

You know, I'm starting to wonder if Company will finally get his G1.....

Am I crazy thinking it's possible tonight?

I don't think that's a crazy idea, he was one of the possibilities I looked at also.

Tonite's pp's, hopefully I will stay awake..

Haven't really looked them over but of course Super Hornet looks like the one to beat. Interested in Blumenblatt here, Take on Phoenix, I like Silent Pride too, and maybe it is Company's time for a G1, meiner Rainer/Fine Grain interesting too......obviously I'm still all over the place will have to see them milling around...
Kiss to Heaven a sentimental favorite of mine too and Jolly Dance...

I think Rahy's in deep here but good that he went...sad though in his pp's Shakis is there...

Hey is there any info on Captain Thule, has he come back?

I'm not sure about the Captain.

I was caught off guard with the Jockey change on Silent Pride, peculiar? I've never bet a race with Goto riding and statistically the move seems to be a lateral one. I do have more of a comfort zone in Yokoyama's rides. I guess the main thing is I think the the horse will be there in the end regardless of either rider.

I'm playing the pick 3 just to have a rooting interest.

Sad, sad news.
