She was a bit unlucky down the stretch but I think she ran pretty well anyway.
For wanting to take a nap in the paddock.

Yusuke Yamaguchi tweeted:
''She returned to Miho Training Center safely and she was okay.''
''She will be sent back to the farm (in Hokkaido) to refresh herself. Then we would like to move forward again so that she could run better in the races.''
''Three months ago, I had to consider her retirement to be a broodmare after her debut race. I could never imagine that she would run this good from the mid-pack in a tough race like today as the race favorite.''
''This is just the beginning.''

It snows a lot in Hokkaido!
JRA offers three covered tracks in its ''Bloodhorse Training Center'' in Hidaka District, Hokkaido.
And small farms like Yusuke Yamaguchi uses these training facilities open to everyone, while big operations like Northern Farm or Shadai Farm have private facilities. If I'm not wrong, Northern Farm has at least five covered training tracks in Hokkaido and their overwhelming training facilities are thought to be ones of the keys for their huge success in the racing.

Reframe left Hokkaido today.
Her next start is going to be the G3 Queen Cup 1600 m turf at Tokyo, Feb 13th.

Do Japan run on grass all year, or do you have only dirt/AW through the winter?

But there's no meeting through the winter at the tracks in Hokkaido, Hakodate and Sapporo, where it snows a lot.

Thanks! I am starting to like Japanese racing more and more. Horses run longer and the best run against each other, I really miss that in Europe and North America.tachyon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 6:36 amJRA runs both on the turf and on the dirt all year.JohannaSwe wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 1:55 pm Do Japan run on grass all year, or do you have only dirt/AW through the winter?

Thanks so much, Tachyon, for all the great pictures and information about Japanese racing.
I agree with JohannaSwe about liking it more and more!

Reframe(USA) is entered for the G3 Queen Cup 1600m turf at Tokyo for tomorrow.
This stakes race sets up a very deep Grade 3 this year with many hopefuls for the classic races entered!
Good luck to Reframe!

Wishing her the very best in her next race. She still looks a bit stiff when she goes round to the right and pulls to the outside on the turns. I don't think I've seen her on the rail. Kudos to her connections for taking so much time with her.tachyon wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:41 am Reframe(USA) is entered for the G3 Queen Cup 1600m turf at Tokyo for tomorrow.

It looked like she stuck in traffic jam and lost interest.
Next time!
