CONTRAIL remains on course to emulate his sire Deep Impact by completing Japan’s Triple Crown of Guineas, Derby and St Leger wins.

Last Sunday the three-year-old recorded an easy success in the Kobe Shimbun Hai at Chukyo and he is now unbeaten in six lifetime starts. His next big test will come in the Kikiuka Sho (St Leger) at Kyoto on October 25th.
