The Second on My List

(SAT) December 21st, 2024

8:38 p.m. I'm assuming the track today hasn't changed much from yesterday, the ground firm and the turf damp. However, since it doesn't look like it's going to rain tomorrow, I think that the moisture of the turf would dry up by the time of Arima Kinen, resulting in a track condition very close to that of last year.

That said, It sure is a pity Do Deuce isn't running. I understand how Yutaka could be shocked to fall sick. If Do Deuce is gone, though will just have to make do with the remaining horses, so I was going to slide up the second expectant candidate as the key horse. That shall be an easy-peasy task, easy enough for me to get done even after work.

I was going to key Bellagio Opera because he was the second on my list, but then realized that Urban Chic was carrying lighter weight because he's a three-year-old and decided to key Urban Chic instead. Yeah, yeah, I know Urban hic is now the odds-on favorite.

On the wheel would be Daon Decile (reluctantly), Bellagio Opera (willingly), Regaleira (just in case), Justin Palace (maybe unnecessary), and Stunning Rose (quite willingly).

Oh, and I will skip the update tomorrow.

The End
