(1)Top jockey Take unable to inspire Japan's favorite loser

KOCHI, Japan - Haruurara, ridden by to jockey Yutaka Take, finishes 10th in a field of 11 at Kochi Racecourse in Kochi on March 22, extending her winless streak to a record 106 outings. With the number of races without a win piling up, last year no-hoper Haruurara faced the prospect of being slaughtered. But her popularity rocketed and she was spared when local media focused attention on the horse as it neared 100 races without a win. (Kyodo)
