A day in Sapporo, Japan. We are in the northern area of Japan in the region of Hokkaido today. Tour of Shadai Farms: We had a breakfast of rice balls and miso soup, a baguette and green tea. We took the express train to Shadai Farms and were able to view 3 of the mares and their foals, next we went to the stallion station to view the three sires of the foals we saw: Fuji Kiseki, Deep Impact, Agnes Tachyon. We were also able to view War Emblem. Shadai Farms has 3 horses in the upcoming Japan Derby: Reach the Crown, Request Song, and Golden Ticket. The Japan Derby is going to be held on May 31st of this year, which is also our 1st wedding anniversary so maybe it will bring them luck.
