Caterpillar's Murmur
Good Enough Reason
(THU) March 19th, 2019
8:57 p.m. Entry for the weekend races have been closed today. Hanshin Dai-shoten has been settled to run with only 10 horses while the place/show rate for the most favored in win odds is 70%. Isn't that a good enough reason for me to lose interest in the race?
Flower Cup on the otherhand, is running with 16 horses. I've already typed in the necessary data as I unexpectedly had some time, thanks to my client who cancelled our zoom meeting with short notice. It was then I realized that there were quite a few front runners in Flower Cup. Basically, I believe the pace won't get tight as we've seen in the past Nakayama 1800m grade races held this month. However, we might see a tight-lapped race like the year 2020 depending on how the front runners are lined up after the barrier draw. Guess I should stay on the alert.
The End
