Caterpillar's Murmur

Pity Indeed

(THU) February 26th, 2026

8:50 p.m. The entry for Nakayama Kinen has been closed. It's a pity, pity indeed to see that it ended up with just 14 horses as I've been expecting a full-field race. The outer posts of a 14-horse rasce are not as disadvantaged as those in a full-field race as you can imagine.

Well, it can't be helped. All I could do is wait for the result of the barrier draw. I have other things to tend to tonight, anyway. Will type in the necessary data tomorrow after I return some books at the library.

Lebensstil and Cervinia surely can be threatening considering their step races being Mile Champonship, though only if they can draw middle to outer posts. Though there's only been three times in the past 10 years when a female horse has made it to top-3, all runner-ups. Moreover, twice were performed by the same horse, Lucky Lilac.
