Jane George,of the International Racing Bureau, says: 'Scenic Blast flew out of Cambridge on Tuesday morning...It made sense for him to be prepared for Japan from Britain as they have a 30-day quarantine for horses arriving from Australia." After Japan, Scenic Blast is then expected to journey to Hong Kong for a further leg of the Global Sprint Challenge.
