Precious Off Time

(MON) September 15th, 2025

8:29 p.m. Sorry I skipped Centlight Kinen. I was afraid calling the race would eat up most of my precious off time. I doubt if I won even if I gave it a try.

Mr. Museum Mile has easily won Centlight Kinen, which didn't come as a surprise supported by the most favored win odds. It could also be said for yesterday's Rose Stakes, but the horses' level wasn't high eough for a G2 race in my opinion. As a result, the odds-on favorite horses winning in the spring classics earned the win without incident in both races.

Meanwhile, news has been delivered that Croix du Nord won the step race for Prix de l'Arc. The hopeful thing is that Croix won on the same course as l'Arc on soft condition. On the other hand, it's a bit worrying that there's only three weeks of interval before the big race. Having run on tough turf condition, I suppose it would be better to have more time to recover. Also, it would be better for the turf to be dry. That shall help Croix du Nord save his stamina until the last minute when he really needs it.

The End
