Trailers From Outer Posts

(WED) December 3rd, 2025

8:31 p.m. Let me leave Narukami aside for a moment to think about trailers starting from outer posts.

As you might already know, Chukyo dirt 1800m where Champions' Cup is held is friendly to inner post starters. You can almost say that one only needs to buy horses starting from inner posts. But then, trailers that drew outer posts like Westerlund or Chuwa Wizzard have made me cry in the past so I want to make use of this opportunity to put an end to such tragedies.

I've reflected on the past results and came to recognize that basically, trailers starting from outer posts don't need much attention except for some rare cases. What Westerlund and Chuwa Wizzard shared was that they both had the fastest records of the last three furlongs in their career before Champions' Cup. They also performed well on wet dirt track condition, which is essential for performing highly in a JRA dirt G1, while both horses performed better starting from outer posts.

I shall keep this in mind this year.

The End
