Basically Same Stance

(THU) July 17th, 2025

8:03 p.m. Fighting sleepiness with all my might after finishing a meeting with a client.

As Written yesterday, basically I'm htinking of calling Kokura Kinen with the same stance as Tanabata-sho except fot the point that the past high-peerformers in this race mostly have either extended the distance or run the same distance in their step races before Kokura Kinen.

No, wait.

If the turf is power-consuming like that of Tanabata-sho, shouldn't I choose horses shortening the distance from their previous race to supplement stamina? But then, when I reflect on the results of Tanabata-sho, Cosmo Fliegen was the only one of the top three finishers that ran in a longer distance in his previous race, which was nearly three months before Tanabata-sho. Perhaps I should care more about the intervals than the distance?

The End
