Now it is held as one of traditional functions in Japan.<br /> A rider on horseback aims and hits the wooden target by bow and allow.It seems it is necessary for riders to keep excellent balance on horseback. I can't use bow and allow.Much less I mustn't use on the horseback.<br /> By the way,first World Cup of Yabusame was held 2 years ago in Japan and Mongolian won.And there are a few style of Yabusame in Japan.Today,<a href="http://www.yabusame.or.jp/english/index.php" target="_blank">Takeda Style</a>&nbsp;showed at Kawasaki.I saw another style of Yabusame 3 years ago at Setagaya Baji Koen.<br /> Though style is different,every Yabusame is wonderful.<br /> Japan is famous by Fuji-san(Fuji-yama,Mt. Fuji),animation and comic now.But I hope Yabusame is known to all over the world better.<br /> <br /> Of course,I enjoyed races as usual.<br /> Chrom Lucia,who belongs to Kuribayashi-sensei's stable,won 6R,a maiden race.He opened his stable last December and won the race on 1.1. for the first time.<br /> Kuribayashi-sensei worked Yamazaki-sensei's stable as a groomer.Of course,he had riden Yuki-chan and Voluntas at horse trained time.He passed the exam for trainer last year and had been reading for open his own stable after the exam.<br /> His stable has already won 2 races in 5 starts.I'm looking forward to seeing horses, belong to Yamazaki-sensei's stable, and horses,belong to Kuribayashi-sensei's stable,will run in group level races and pattern races by competing against each other.<br /> <br /> By the way,I'll upload the article of Hochi All Star Cup(local government pattern race,dirt 2100m,for 4up) tomorrow.Follow my blog tomorrow,too!<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー</div> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

өдөрийн уралдаанд ялтал дараа хожимт&nbsp;Сакүрайсан ялсан баяр хүргэхд намайг ч бас уриж өгсөн.Тэгэхэд нь Сакүрайсан надад"бөгсөнийн үс нь хайчлах гэж Монгол хэлээр юу гэх вэ?" гэж асуусан.Сакүрайсан жаахан сонин хүн шүү биз?Гэхдээ тэр цаг нь&nbsp;Сакүрайсан&nbsp;&nbsp;согтсон.Тэгээд би ч бас согтотол хачин гэрэл зураг халааст минь сайн орж байдаг,уучлаарай.Би архины хордолого хүмүүсийг харж ирсэн учраас айган архиныг их ууж чадахгүй нь болчихсон.Гэхдээ иймэрхүү заримдаа маш их олон ууна.<br /> Тэгээд Сакүрайсан энгийн халуун сэтгэлээрээ ажиллан хэрэглүүлнэ хүн.Бас Волүнтас энгийн зөөлөн сэтгэлээ бас маш их том бас хүчтэй азрага байгаа.<br /> Тэгээд Сакүрайсан-гын тодорхой яриа нь Монгол хэлээр л бичсэн.Монгол хэл мэдэхгүй хүмүүст нууцлна шүү.Сакүрайсан Англи хэл ч бас сайн мэднэ гэвч Монгол хэл огд мэдэхгүй нь тэр.<br /> <br /> Уучлаарай...<br /> Энэ жилийн зунт бас намарт бие минь муухай байчихсан.Тийм учраас морь байдаг газарт очно боломж цөөрчихсөн.Гэхдээ дандаа намайг амьдруулдаг байдал нарт баярлдаг сэтгэлээ л үнэмлэхүй мартахүгүй нь хийнэн амьдрмаар байна.Хамгийн эцэст зарим газарт сайхан үг нь&nbsp;үзсэн учраас тэр ч жаахан хэрэглтэл дуусах гэж бодож байна.<br

Nakayama Race Track on 9.30. next.Then he ran in group3 level race and got 3rd.<br /> On 12.10,he aimed to Japanese turf 2yo colt champion.He ran in Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes(group1 level,turf 1600m,for 2yo) at Nakayama.In the race,he took the tail position and overtook any other horses at last stretch.Finally,he defeated Laurel Guerreiro,Japanese champion sprinter in 2009.He became a turf

had many possibilities to have a disadvantage by other horses.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> </div> In 2008,he won 2 consecutive wins in group race,Kokura Kinen(group3 level,turf 2000m,for

mare or a race against colts &amp; horses.<br /> This is what I always write,I would like her to be without incident on and on.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー</div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes with Generous.Then he rode in Japan as a&nbsp;Japan Racing&nbsp;short term licensed jockey and won group level 3 race(Fuchu Himba Stakes,rode Hokkai Celes).<br /> But he seemed to had spent hard time for a long time.Nevertheless,he came to Japan as a&nbsp;local government&nbsp;short term licensed jockey last year.And he came again this year,too.<br /> Alan is full activity in Japan now.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー</div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
