Caterpillar's Murmur

Huh?

(SAT) April 20th, 2024

9:01 p.m. I thought I could just pick out the horses with instantaneous force, but it looks like I've underestimated the race.

Apart from Serifos, there doesn't seem to be horses that could perform well in a G1. The level of this year's Yomiuri Milers' Cup is pretty low. Yet Serifos is probably targeting Yasuda Kien, so Yomiuri Milers' Cup would be just a preparation. There's a high possibility that the horse is not yet ready to race at its full power.

On the other hand, it's hard to think that Soul Rush would perform well three years in a row, despite the fact Yomiuri Milers' Cup is friendly to repeaters. Besides, Soul Rush like Serifos, is probably aiming to win Yasuda Kinen, too.

With the clock ticking, I settled for Corepetiteur to key for the sole reason of winning Kyoto Kinpai, a mile race at Kyoto. On the wheel would be Tudo de Bom, Serifos, Air Lolonois, North the World, Session, and Soul Rush.

Huh? I got six horses on my wheel where there should be only five. Will have to cut one out.
