Europeans Prep for the Japan Cup
Dateline: 11/24/00
Europe has four representatives at the Japan Cup this year, three from the U.K. and one from France. They had their final works Friday morning at Tokyo Racecourse, more popularly known locally as Fuchu Racecourse, and photographer Bill Selwyn from the U.K. was there to take pictures. I should have photos from both the Japan Cup and the Japan Cup Dirt later this weekend.
