I can only hope then, that he will be one of those horses who thrive on racing and that he will improve form throughout the TC :)

Newsday article about Lani.

Preakness Stakes runner Lani a cantankerous colt
Clocker Gary Young described a typical Lani morning for the Louisville Courier-Journal: “As the beast stepped onto the track, he looked like Russell Crowe entering the Colosseum in ‘Gladiator.’ ” Not what an exercise rider wants to see, and Eishu Maruuchi admitted that Lani runs the show.
It will be Tanaka’s first trip to Pimlico, but thanks to YouTube, he’s familiar with its venerable infield tradition, “The Running of the Urinals.” Drunks sprint on top of two rows of portable toilets as other revelers hurl full beer cans at them.

Too bad it’s been banned, because it’s Lani’s kind of scene.

I'm surprised they didn't bother to mention how his trip in the Derby also contributed to his finish and how he did well to finish in spite of it. Bumped at the start by a Pletcher horse (ironic since Pletcher was whining about Lani a few days before and how he was worried being next to him in the starting gate) then again forced ridiculously wide in the final turn. Wonder what was the total distance he ran.
I also find it bizarre they describe him as not having any speed since he's shown impressive turn of foot on grass. But maybe that is a optical illusion rather than actual acceleration.

If he can get his mind off the fillies for a bit... he really could go places.

Thanks!
Great Steve Haskin made me a US Triple Crown races fan ages ago :D
And it's now great to see him take on a Japan-trained runner here.

A Shin Hikari went off favored in the Prince of Wales's at Royal Ascot, but could not sustain his lead in home stretch. Found looked home a winner (you go, girl!) but just got nipped at the wire by My Dream Boat...the longest shot in the race. :o

Ugh, A Shin Hikari may have to be remembered as one of the most overrated horses of all-time.
He was not even a G1 winner in Japan.

Wanted to check on the status of Buchiko (Jpn), the JRA site says that she was scratched by the stewards again at Tokyo on June 4.

I believe she has been banned from racing for a month/needs to pass another gate test after her - quite frankly terrifying - antics on June 4

Yikes, that was scary. Can't believe she managed to get under the gate like that and then get tangled into the outer rail. Glad she will fight another day.

Yes, that is scary. Strange she seemed to be calm for so long while the other horses loaded. Too bad she seems to have become a head case.
