At least it didn't stop racing in Japan on Sunday.
At Nakayama we had the Sankei Sho All Comers G2 over 2200m and the odds-on favourite Lebensstil obliged to give Lemaire another winner. All Comers was a good name for the race as second went to Auswahl on 49.4 and third to Licancabor on 59.8!
At Chukyo the Kobe Shimbun Hai G2 saw Meisho Taberu win with June Takei second and Shonan La Punta coming third. Favourite Mellorami was fifth.
Meantime the Hong Kong horses Victor the Winner and Mugen have arrived safely and are busy training at the Horse Racing School prior to next Sunday's Sprinters' Stakes.
