For those on Maurice (JPN) watch pacing up and down like expectant fathers, it looked as if the Horse Of The Year had cracked it for a winner in a 1600m Newcomers race at Tokyo on Sunday with the royally-bred colt Kalandula hitting the front close to home, only to be gunned down by an impressive Godolphin homebred who has an Australian connection.
With three winners on the card, Damian Lane might have stolen the show at Tokyo racecourse on Sunday however he had to play second fiddle in the day’s feature, The Sankei Sports Sho Flora Stakes (2000m), which was won by a promising filly with an Australian background.
