Ouija Board’s performance in the Japan Cup last weekend was certainly brilliant. The mare finished in third place behind Deep Impact and showed an unbelievable constitution. Now, her next target is the Hong Kong Vase on December 10th, which would be the last race of her fantastic career.

“It was another great effort and she was beaten by what I would consider to be the best turf horse in the world - and I don't think there is any disgrace in that,” racing manager Peter Stanley commented after the race.

“It wasn't like she was laid out for the Japan Cup by any means, she has had to run in a few on the way there but, as usual, she gave it her very best,” Stanley added. “The amazing thing about her is that she actually seems to thrive on all the traveling. The secret to her success is that she doesn't just tolerate the traveling she thrives on it.”

Stanley also explained that if Ouija is fine and up to it she will go to Honk Kong and if she is not, she won’t.
