Always My Fault

(SUN) November 23rd, 2025

7:45 p.m. I misread the whole race. I didn't think Mile Championship was going to be a recap of Fuji Steaks. That's something that hadn't happened before the Kyoto renewal. The trend has changed indeed in that sense.

I also thought that the horses would stay in a clump with the outer post drawers trapping the inner post drawers along the rail. However, such idea collapsed when Soul Rush dropped his position in spite of his rocket start. It's sad to admit it, though perhaps Dubai Turf was the horses prime. You can't blame the horse, he's already 7 years old come to think of it.

So it's my bad again. Yes, it's always my fault.
