Planning the invasion of Normandy

We are launching a full-scale assault on Deauville tomorrow with three runners. Versaki is out first in a 1,300-meter claimer; it’s only a week after his last race, but this is a much better distance for him and he seems on form, so since we got in it was too good a chance to pass up. Greg Benoist will ride. Up next will be George, who is taking on 1,900 meters again but will have a proper jockey on his back this time, so I hope that he gets a better lesson than last time out and we can better judge what he might do. He is also in substantially easier company than last time out. Capping the day will be Turfani, who is at the bottom of the first division of the 1,900-meter handicap. Charge!
