Thanks to VaporRub

(SUN) January 26th, 2020

4:56 p.m. Thanks to VaporRub, my coughs grew less and I was able to sleep last night. Though my temperature seems to be rising. It reached 37 by noon while it didn't go above 36.6 even when I had the type-A flu last year. My average temperature had dropped to somewhere around 35, give or take a few and haven't recovered much no matter what I've doen. My temperature 37 is someone else's 38.

Don't know if VaporRub is to thank for this too, but I won Tokai Stakes. I was a bit worried about the position of Inti concerning Sumahama, but that was unnecessary. Yutaka has held Inti fast in 4th or 5th position from the top to seek for an early spart. That's what makes him a world-class jockey, that's why he's a genius. He comes up with a good strategy that would draw out the best of his horse, and puts it to work like an artist. It doesn't go well all the time, but not many jockeys can go through this process that seems simple, yet hard to practice. Inti wouldn't have come in 3rd today, if it weren't for Yutaka.

The very person who screwed up Inti in Miyako Stakes won AJCC with Blast Onepiece, which I'm not surprised at since he should win against those competitors on Nakayama 2200m on a soft track, the best condition he could wish for. I'd rather like to give all my praise to Stay Foolish and Christophe for a good strategy and putting up a good fight.

The End
