Bago connections happy ahead of Japan Cup
23/11/2005 - 11:31:17Bago is reported to have settled in well ahead of his run in the Japan Cup on Sunday.
The French-trained four-year-old, third to Hurricane Run in his bid to land back-to-back victories in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe last month, flew to Japan a week ago.
“He went to Japan last Tuesday and spent the first five days in quarantine,” said a spokeswoman for English-born trainer Jonathan Pease.
Bago, winner of five Group One races, was last seen finishing fourth to Shirocco in the Breeders’ Cup Turf at Belmont Park four weeks ago.
