Japanese trainer Keiji Yoshimura got what he wanted from a Randwick visit with Obamburumai as he looks to add the Doncaster to his Golden Eagle win.
Golden Eagle winner Obamburumai had a familiarisation trip to Randwick on Wednesday as trainer Keiji Yoshimura counts down the days to the Doncaster.
Every moment was timed for Obamburumai, Yoshimura looking at his watch as his horse walked laps of Randwick’s Theatre of the Horse before legging-up jockey Damian Lane. There was a calmness to the routine, and a couple more laps of the theatre before the trainer signalled for the four-year-old to go on the track.
“It was great to get a feel of him,” Lane said. “I didn’t let him go full speed, but watching his races he does have a great turn of foot. The trainer is happy with him, his fitness is right up there.Lane wasn’t in the saddle for the Golden Eagle win but was called on for the Doncaster when Josh Parr couldn’t comfortably make his 55-kilogram handicap.Getty
