Japan trip an education

I must start this week by telling you about my first ever trip to Japan last weekend.

As you probably know, I went to ride Blackstairmountain for Willie Mullins at a racecourse called Nakayama, which is about a 45 minute drive from Tokyo.

I flew Dublin-Heathrow-Tokyo and it was some experience. The race was on Saturday and I arrived at the track to exercise Blackstairmountain at 6.00 on Friday morning.
