Japan racing (2015-16)
 
Nice bunch in the Shuka Sho...

PPs...

Barrier draw...

I was away for the Sprinters Stakes but for the sake of trying to keep somewhat up to date the replay of Straight Girl winning...

http://web-cache.stream.ne.jp/web/jr...504060911&ua=4

... and the Kyoto Daishoten (which Lovely Day won. My early prediction Japan Cup winner, One and Only, was 6th). :)

Sunday Star are you playing? Anyone? If so who do you like?

my miss storm cat 10-17-2015 10:24 AM

No strong feelings and I should probably sit it out but I think I will do a small wager and use Deep Jewelry on top. Am liking Tosen Victory as well and debating using the favorites (both Queen horses and Donki?) in the 3rd spot (Cat Coin for some value underneath?)..

Originally thought I would go with White Elegance or Maximum de Paris but like I said with no strong feelings maybe just a small single win bet or exacta and leave it at that.

Good luck if you're playing!

PPs for the Kituka Sho (Japanese St. Leger)...

http://japanracing.jp/_news2015/pdf/151015.pdf

Looked quickly and not sure if I'm playing or not... will look at the odds later but I think Real Steel looks good (2nd favorite? 3rd?). By virtue of winning the Kobe Shimbun Hai I would imagine Lia Fall is the favorite... (?) and think Stieglitz would be at lower odds than Real Steel but what do I know.

Would definitely use Jun Tsubasa underneath for some value... Red Solomon and Kitasan Black who will both be at much sorter odds as well.

Bright Emblem is my favorite horse in the race (I always have to mention such idiotic things as they make golfer laugh :p ) but I won't be using him... that last race of his (the Asahi Hai St. Lite Kinen) dos not make me want to rush to include him. (Now watch him win tonight).

Good luck if you're playing.

If I play will edit in my wagers.

I love him (and One and Only) so much! :D

Have not yet rally looked at pps but yes, you know me well. :) :o

Who are you liking, sentimentally and for betting purposes?

SundayStar 10-29-2015 09:36 AM

Lovely Day looks like a winner. Sentimentally, i'm pulling for Isla Bonita and Shonan Pandora.

my miss storm cat 10-31-2015 09:48 AM

Good luck to you both today AND tonight!

Prettiest tail goes to must-use, A Shin Hikari. :p I wonder if One and Only will do well. Hope so!

Aside from those three (Lovely Day included, of course) looking at Decipher and at your two, Isla Bonita and Shonan Pandora. Satono Crown is the one I'm confused about...

They both are tough and really... quite a few very nice horses here.

Do you remember the Mermaid Stakes back in June? So I've been waiting for both Chateau Blanche and Marialite to show up in something I'm interested in playing and it looks like both will run here. Marialite - just tossing her out there as one I will be using (should be at big odds with the likes of the two you named plus Nuovo Record, Smart Layer (God she's pretty :D ), Meisho Mambo (it would be fantastic seeing her return to form!) et al.

Here's the replay and while she may not be anything special I just like her (and the winner as well). :)

(This is the announcer who makes me feel like I've got tinnitus (and yes I will burn in hell for being such a mean person). :p

http://web-cache.stream.ne.jp/web/jr...503090411&ua=4

Nobori Diana had a nice win in the Fuchu Himba BUT I think Smart Layer, who was 2nd, was sneaky good and I might just end up using her on top. Still too early but fun to talk about!

Here's that race...

http://web-cache.stream.ne.jp/web/jr...504050411&ua=4

Exciting!

I did and yeah it sure was! Thoughts on the Mile, SS?

SundayStar 11-17-2015 03:32 PM

Maurice has the big winning streak but i'm a sucker for Isla Bonita. i think he get's it done this time.

you?

You know I looked at it at the beginning of the week and am all rushed now and trying to remember who I liked (but to use underneath cause I think you're right and Maurice looks like the likely winner)...

Think I was looking at Satono Aladdin and Tosen Stardom grabbing a piece of it but will have to edit in later after I look at it again.

Will not be using your good boy Isla Bonita in the top two spots BUT it would be extraordinarily nice to see him win this. :) Hope he runs well for you!

edit - Leaving soon and will probably miss the race as I'm taking my daughter to the theater... did this cause I am rushed (usually don't like using all but whatever)... trying to decide which to do a savor on... SA or Tosen S. Must ponder.

Good luck to you, SS, and to Kitan, Coachie, Ed and anyone playing!

yeah Maurice is really good. I wonder how he would measure up on the world stage. It's too bad Isla Bonita got off a step slow. Not sure if he could've won....maybe 2nd. Nice run though.

Yeah, the internationals haven't had much luck in several years. I'm going to go ahead and make my pick now....Gold Ship! :)

An outstanding pick and I shall go with Lovely Day BUT for the record I did pick One and Only to win this 12 months ago - on the prediction thread and with his rather terrible year the odds will be really good so I will continue to hold out hope and do a small win bet on him just incase.

Looking like an awesome field!

PPs...

my miss storm cat 11-26-2015 01:38 PM

Extremely happy with the post position my boys have drawn!

http://japanracing.jp/_news2015/151126-07.html

It would, of course, be awesome to see Gold Ship win his farewell but I shall stick with Lovely Day and One and Only. Will probably use Sounds of Earth and Shonan Pandora underneath along with must-use Gold Ship and Hit the Target for sentimental reasons. :)

Exciting!

Happy Thanksgiving, Sunday Star (and Ed, Kitan, Coachie, and anyone else looking @ Japan today). :)

my miss storm cat 11-27-2015 10:14 AM

Wondering your take on Admire Deus, SS, and also if you'll be using Last Impact.

That "pushing him to the point of irritation" line on One and Only by Kojiro Hashiguchi in the comments section of the jra site is a little... well not exactly the glorious comment I was hoping for! We shall see.

Great field!

my miss storm cat 11-28-2015 10:26 AM

Morning line (whoa the odds on One and Only are insane)...

http://japanracing.jp/_news2015/pdf/151128.pdf

I'm going to edit in my plays. Will use the probable winnah Lovely Day and possibly Sounds of Earth on top with Shonan Pandora and Mikki Queen underneath... Hit the Target and One and Only in the 3rd spot and a savor on One and Only cause I just have to. Might be tempted to add in Gold Ship somewhere at the bottom but - great as he is - I am not seeing it this time. Pondering Erupt at the bottom BUT completely leaving out the rest of the internationals.

Admire Deus scares me... still don't know what to do with him and have decided against Last Impact who I just like and even with Ryan Moore up I cannot see it happening here. (If I play a super will use in the 4th spot but I think I shouldn't as I suck at those).

Watch now that comes back to haunt me.:D

Okay will have to do my plays early so will edit in at the bottom.

Good luck Sunday Star, Coachie, Kitan, AJ, Golfer and anyone else playing (... and come home safe, everyone). :)

Who are you looking at, SS? I'm thinking Copano Rickey, Hokko Tarumae, or the HK Raider (yay!), Gun Pit.

Would of course be thrilled to see one of the old timers like Roman Legend or Wonder Acute win it but alas... so completely doubtful. Same goes for Grape Brandy...

Prettiest horsie (for golfer) award to Kurino Star O. :p

Well good luck if you decide to play. Think I will just box my three (Rickey, Hokko, Gun PIt) or play around with them and possibly the mare, Sambista or the black beauty, Kurino Star O, underneath... maybe do a win on the HK boy and leave it at that? Wish he weren't in the 14 hole but what can you do?

SS your thoughts on both Nonkono Yume and Sound True would be appreciated cause this morning I am wondering if it's a mistake leaving these two out... perhaps use both in the 3rd spot? Ahhh help! :D

I realize I should probably (finally) give up on One and Only BUT if I do now he'll win. :D

Let me know who you like as it approaches...

I mean clearly we each have our boys in this one but who ELSE?

SundayStar 12-23-2015 09:22 AM

it would be great if Gold Ship could go out a winner but i don't think he will. so he probably will :). everytime i lose faith in him, he wins. Lovely Day should be the favorite. he's had a great year and this would be the capper. but maybe he's a bit over the top. this race looks prime for an upset to me. there are 3 horses i give a good shot to pull it off. Lia Fail, Marialite and of course, Rouge Buck. call me crazy ;)

Sometimes these races are mind-numbing... in trying to push aside sentiment and look with fresh eyes I wonder about LIa Fail as well but also and moreso Kitasan Black and Albert. Luckily there's time. I shall probably just use Lovely Day on top and not get too cute but then who knows!

(Too bad Shonan Pandora is out. )

Merry Christmas, my friend. Hope it's THIS good! :p
