Japan racing, 2013-14
PPs for the Sprinters Stakes (the first G1 of the season)... Nakayama on Sunday (well Saturday night here)...
Too bad there are no kids from HK this time around. http://japanracing.jp/_news2013/pdf/130919.pdf Lord Kanaloa, who won it last year, looks like a pretty strong favorite but on first glance I'm intrigued by Sakura Gospel. Aaah well there's plenty of time yet. Can't wait! |

Barrier draw...
http://japanracing.jp/_news2013/130927.html Even with the 13 hole I like my Sakura horse more and more. Am thinking of something like... Sakura Gospel / Lord Kanaloa / Hakusan Moon, Dream Valentino and Forever Mark who is kinda a question mark for me but since I'm not sure how good she is am inclined to include her. For the super I'm thinking of tossing in Grand Prix Boss and Sugino Endeavour. Funny cause I cannot bring myself to be sentimental and use Silk Fortune, San Carlo OR Pas de Trois, all of whom I like so very much. I'd imagine Yutaka Take's mount, Sudden Storm, will take a lot of money over here but I won't include that one either. Anyone else playing this? |

Sunday Star if you're around was wondering if you had any opinion on Ribbon Tricolour (?). She's the big question mark for me tonight...
Thanks! (Smart Lawyer is so pretty ). |

Quick stab / the Kikuka Sho tonight...
Epiphaneia has done everything right and is a really good horse but will try to beat him and use him in the 2nd spot with Majesty Hearts and Fluky on top. Majesty Hearts looks really good and like many used the Kobe Shimbun Hai as his prep. Wish Mori were onboard instead of Take. I don't know what to think of the route Fluky has taken to get here but he is intriguing. Satono Noblesse and Derby Fizz in the 3rd spot, Last Impact and Yule Singing to fill out the super. Good luck if you're playing. |

Looking at the very nice field for the Tenno Sho and trying to find a price...
Might be dumb to with a field that includes Codino, Nakayama Knight, Gentildonna and Eishin Flash but here goes... Verde Green and Tokei Halo both strike me as maybes so am thinking of using both with Gentildonna and tossing Just a Way (likes being 2nd), Rain Stick, Danon Ballade and Hit the Target underneath in some yet-to-be-determined order. Connections of To the Glory, Tosan Jordan (holds the course record believe it or not) and Ocean Blue aren't exactly overflowing with confidence, Red Spada hasn't run at the distance and God help me I don't see Eishin Flash repeating. Too bad Tosan Ra isn't here... I guess his connections made their decision (but I thought it would be to the opposite one). |
