Trip of Love after racing
Ninety-three starts at Kasamatsu, and then colic and the summer heat put paid to the plan of retraining him for riding. He was close to having nowhere to go when the association took him in, and now he spends his days doing what he likes best, out on the green grass of Kagoshima. A turbulent life has finally found somewhere to settle.
