Caterpillar's Murmur

Win or Lose

(SAT) November 29th, 2025

10:36 p.m. Cleaning took up most of my time, still haven't come down to conclusion yet. Part of the decision is already made, though it's not complete.

I will key Croix du Nord on a wheel but haven't decided all the horses to put on the wheel except for Justin Palace and Masquerade Ball. The candidates remaining are Deep Monster, Calandagan, Admire Terra, Yoho Lake, Danon Decile, and Shin Emperor. Note that I'm inclined to deleting Admire Terra and Yoho Lake.

Perhaps I'll buy quinella place of Croix du Nord and Justin Palace for now.

Also, I will skip tomorrow as I have to play the host no matter if I win or lose.
