Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 26, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 26, 2019 In this continuing series, Alan Carasso takes a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for this weekend running at Kyoto and Niigata Racecourses: Saturday, April 27, 20199th-NII, ¥19,580,000 ($175k), Allowance, 3yo, 1200mT POMPEII WORM (c, 3, Itsmyluckyday–Briecat, by Adcat) got his career off on a winning note, scoring impressively over the Kyoto main track last October (video, gate 14). Unplaced in two subsequent dirt tries, he switched to the grass and gave an excellent account of himself, finishing runner-up at Hanshin Apr. 13. A $525K OBS March breezer, Pompeii Worm is out of a dual graded stakes-winning dam who was also placed at Grade I level. B-Spendthrift Farm LLC (KY) Sunday, April 28, 201910th-KYO, ¥34,200,000 ($306k), Allowance, 3yo, 1400m MONT PERDU (f, 3, Cairo Prince–Spanish Post, by Flatter), a $115K FTNAUG yearling turned $325K FTFMAR juvenile, could scarcely have been more impressive in her first two career outings, winning by five on debut at this track last November (video, gate 4) before adding a 3 1/2-length allowance tally at Kyoto Jan. 13. Produced by an unraced half-sister to five-time SW and GSP Spanish Decree (War Deputy), Mont Perdu is joined in the field by fellow US-breds Timing Now (Tapit–Her Smile) and Boston Tesoro (Temple City).
