Sprinters Stakes

[my miss storm cat]

On your boy.

Excerpt.....

Peer Gynt was the only entry among the 16 to work out on Thursday, closing a six-furlong run with 12.0 seconds in the last 200 meters. Like many, trainer Kojiro Hashiguchi’s 5-year-old has had his summer plans derailed by the flu, but the Sunday Silence son didn’t show signs of being affected by it in training with race rider Hiroyuki Uemura on board. The Takamatsunomiya Kinen runner-up has not had a tune-up ahead of Sunday’s race, but Hashiguchi still beamed with confidence. “Ideally, it probably would have been better to use him once before the Sprinters Stakes, but
he usually runs well after a break. He’s really in form at the moment. In the spring, we were experimenting but now he has the record to show for it. I’m not the least bit worried.”
