Sporting Life.....
DYLAN AMONG JAPAN CUP ACCEPTORS By Tom Peacock, PA Sport Dylan Thomas features among the acceptors for the Japan Cup later this month. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner will be on the Coolmore Stud roster for next year and while his participation is by no means certain, what was to be his final outing in the Breeders' Cup Turf was effectively wrecked by soft ground at Monmouth Park. Three other European horses have accepted invitations, with Halicarnassus and Papal Bull - first and third in the Arc Trial at Newbury last time - also possibilities, along with German ace Saddex. Brian Meehan's Red Rocks, winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf in 2006, was pulled out of Tokyo's November 25 showpiece. Meanwhile, Clive Brittain's Kandidate and the Gerard Butler-trained Jack Sullivan have accepted invitations for the Japan Cup Dirt the day before.

He does need to be held up towards the rear really. He's a funny horse, and has his own ideas about the sport and when he will perform his best. Ryan Moore seems to be able to get the best out of him.
Ryan loves him because he's a reall character and he tests him as a jockey. He wouldn't be likely to run if Dylan Thomas was to take his chance though.

Ryan Moore is the best man for the job, you have to handle this horse with kid gloves, and that isn't something that Fallon is great at doing.

[quote=NoChanceToDance]Well, as you know, Mr Fallon has a been a bit stupid in getting himself mixed up with the wrong people and telling lies. Getting himself mixed with them is one thing, but the lies are another.
Ryan Moore is the best man for the job, you have to handle this horse with kid gloves, and that isn't something that Fallon is great at doing.[/quoteI I´m nobudy to judge his behavior his OK as a jockey for me. He also put this horse twice in the winners circle in a grades stakes, BUT BUT if he is not the eligeble Ryan must be the man. Im just worry about THE MOON (¿¿Remember the Yellow Floyd??)

I will be surprised if Ryan doesn't get the ride if the horse runs. There is no way Fallon will be able to ride, he has already said he will not be riding anywhere while to court case is going on.
Still waiting on Dylan i expect. I think it's probably a case of if he runs, Papal won't.
