"His training and condition this morning was perfect, and everything is working out the way we hoped. After two days of training here at the Tokyo course, he's getting the feel of things. We let him run a little faster than yesterday this morning, and he enjoyed it. Tomorrow we'll let him run like today, and then school the paddock area. We'll do a strong gallop on Friday on turf."

JUST AS WELL (USA, h6. dark bay or brown)

-jogged appr.400m, lightly cantered ~ gradually stronger appr.2,300m, jogged appr.200m
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　(dirt course, standard)

"He's eating well, drinking well and is keeping up the good condition. He was sweating a great deal yesterday, but today it's only a reasonable amount and he's not breathing heavily either. He's not nervous in anyway - he's adjusting to the atmosphere and is enjoying it. For this horse, the rain doesn't bother him at all and he can handle any kind of track condition. I've found that the dirt is in good condition and it's good for him, so we'll train him on the dirt track tomorrow too. We'll take him out on the turf once it rains and softens a bit."
